Nodes Explained

The Flow Builder is a flow authoring tool for the creation of interactive flows. The interactive flow is build connecting the different Nodes. The Nodes can contain text, images, PDFs, video's and frontline.io 3D interactions. The Nodes are connected with each other. Each Node can represent a step of the, for example, (end) procedure, training module or troubleshooting document. 

There are 6 types of Nodes:

  1. Instruction/ Step 
  2. Question
  3. Multi-choice
  4. Warning
  5. Input
  6. Go To

All Nodes can contain a Header, Description, Warning Pop Ups, Media Elements, and 3D Interactions.

Instruction or Step Node: basic Node. Add the title to the Header, and explain about the step in the Description. The text can be fully styled in the text fields. The Style option of the Node indicates the position of the Header and Description.
