Add a Navigate To Flow Action

You use this action to navigate to a flow in the current application, and if necessary, to pass parameters to the flow.

To use a Navigate To Flow action:

1. Add the action in one of three ways, depending on your preference and where you want it added:
   • Drag the action from the Actions palette onto the canvas, dropping the action either at the bottom edge of the action it is to follow, or at the top edge of the action it is to precede.
   • Double-click the action in the Actions palette to add it to an empty canvas or to the end of an action chain.
   • On the canvas, select the action you want the new action to follow, then double-click the new action in the Actions palette.

2. For the flow options, the Flow in Current Page option is only available if the page includes a Flow Container component. Selecting it provides you with the options for navigating to a flow or page within the current page. Selecting Flow in Parent Page provides you with the options for navigating to a flow of the parent page.
3. For the Flow property, select a flow or click the Create link to create a new flow to navigate to.
4. If the selected flow has input parameters, enter them for the Input Parameters property that appears after selecting the flow.

5. For Browser History, select either push (default), skip, or replace to define the effect on browser history. This value is used only if the resource is used in the same window. If you choose skip, the URL is not modified. If you choose replace, the current browser history entry is replaced instead of pushed, meaning that the back button will not go back to that page.

If a value is returned by the flow, it is assigned to the auto-generated variable shown by the Store Result In property.
