Run a Flow From a Tab in a Tab Container

WestOderman

Running a flow by selecting a tab in a tab container is not possible in Decisions. There are, however, other ways to get similar effects while still using a tab container. One of such ways are as follows

1 Create or open the designated Page. This is the Page that will house the tab container intended to run Flows from.

2 In the Page, add a tab container. The tabs in this tab container can be formatted by dragging a layout from the layouts section in the toolbox.

3 In each of the tabs that are to run a flow, add a Simple Tile. This Simple Tile is what will ultimately be clicked to run that tab's designated flow

4 In the Simple Tile's properties, navigate to common properties then select Pick or Create Flow

5 select Create New > Tile Source Flow > Create

6 In the new flow, select the Create Tile Data step. Under Tile Setup, configure as necessary. These configurations are what appear on the tile in the tab container.

7 In the Create Tile Data step, navigate to actions. Change Tile Action Type (Left Click) to RunFlow. A new option should appear beneath called Flow; in this option, designate the flow that is desired to run after the simple tile is clicked

8 save and close the Tile Source Flow

9 Repeat steps 4-8 for each simple tile placed in the tab container

10 Test to verify everything is operational.
