  3. To create a new flow, click on the "+ Flows" button.

Starter Flow: By selecting the "Starter Flow" option, you will be able to start with an example flow with existing components. This option is a good place to start if you would like to start with a basic flow with existing components. You can publish this flow as-is or modify the flow to your requirements.

Settings

Assess.one includes two primary settings when creating and maintaining your workflows:

Component Settings

Component settings are the settings that determine how each component added to the stage canvas operates. This includes settings such as the look and feel, who can view and edit components, making fields mandatory, displaying field values on the "Assess" screen, and building your action logic for your buttons.

To view the settings for each component, simply click on the component on the workflow canvas to view the setting on the left hand side of the flow builder page. All changes to component settings are automatically saved.

Flow Settings

Flow settings are setting that determine how the workflow will operate at a global level. The flow settings include:

Starting status: This is the first status that will be applied to your workflow when the assessment is initially created.

Assessment ID prefix: Each assessment has an ID. Change this prefix to change the first three (3) letters of the assessment ID.

Stage Settings

Stage settings determine how your stage navigation will operate with the following options:

Preview all stages: For multi stage workflows, the user will be able to preview all stages in advance of completing these stages. This is useful in situations where there are a number of stages to be completed and by previewing the stages the user will have an indication of how many stages they need to complete.

Allow skip ahead stages: When "Preview all stages" is selected, this option allows users to skip ahead stages.

Allow go back stages: This option is selected by default allowing users to use the stage navigation to return to previous workflow stages when completing assessments. By unselecting this option, users will only be able to progress forward with an assessment and will not be able to navigate back to previous stages using the stage navigation.
