Flowchart Sections provide the capability to divide and link complex and extensive workflows into manageable segments.

The Flowchart Sections feature includes the following functionalities:

  • Creation of flowchart workflows with customizable sections
  • Linking and nesting of sections
  • Simulation of individual sections
  • Copying and pasting of flowchart sections along with their workflows
  • User-friendly list view of flowchart sections with drag-and-drop functionality for sorting

This article outlines the supported functionalities for using Flowchart Sections and illustrates, through examples, how complex flowcharts can be organized into clear and manageable sections.

How to create and manage flowchart sections

To create flowchart sections, a section step can be dragged and dropped from the library onto the canvas.

Create flowchart section

In the section details, any custom text can be defined or, alternatively, edited and saved directly in the list view of sections.

Edit section name

To define the flow of a flowchart section, it can be opened either by double-clicking on it or by selecting it from the list. Each section always includes a default start and end node. These nodes cannot be deleted. The sequence of assembly steps is defined between these nodes.

Define flowchart in a section

Nesting sections is supported. In the list view, individual sections on the same level can be rearranged via drag-and-drop.
