Manage Flow Settings
Each flow in your App UI includes a Settings editor, which you use to manage its default page as well as imported resources such as custom components, CSS files, and modules. You can also allow other App UIs to navigate to a flow other than the default.
Because an App UI can have multiple flows, you configure settings for each flow individually, so your settings apply only to pages within that flow.
To configure settings for an App UI's flow, open the flow, then click Settings to open the Settings editor. For example, here's what you might see for the default main
flow:

Setting | Description |
---|---|
General tab | Contains general flow settings: |
Default Page | Default page of the flow. Every App UI has a default flow (defined in the App UI's settings), and every flow has a default page. The default page serves as the entry page for the flow and, by default, is set to the start page created automatically when the flow was created (for example, the main-start page created for the main flow). When the App UI is run, the default page of the default flow is rendered.
Select a page to change the flow's default page. You can click Create to create a page directly from here and set it as the flow's default page, then use the Go to Page link to design the page in the Page Designer. |
Description | Optional description of the flow. |
Add to Oracle Cloud Applications menu | Option that adds this flow to the Oracle Cloud Application or Ask Oracle Navigator menu (depending on the application you're extending), so users can directly access the default page in this flow under your App UI when they open the menu:
|
Let other App UIs navigate to this flow | Option to allow App UIs in your Oracle Cloud Application instance to navigate to this flow when configuring the Navigate action.
|
Imports tab | Contains settings to manage resources such as custom CSS files, modules, and components imported at the flow level, allowing you to create declarative references that can be shared among pages in the flow. See Create Declarative References to Imported Resources. |
Security tab | Allows you to add permissions that control user access to the flow. Only users granted one of the assigned permissions can navigate to the flow. Note that permissions are inherited from the parent, so the flow inherits permissions from the App UI. See Control Access to Your App UI. |
