Model-driven apps and business process flows

Business process flows are components that can be added to model-driven apps. You will need to ensure that the business process flow is included in the app, as shown in the following screenshot:

Figure 13.23 – Business process flows in App Designer

In the preceding screenshot, the Business Process Flows tile is selected and in the Components pane, the business process flow for this app is selected. The other business process flows are not selected and will not be available in this app.

Congratulations on reaching the end of this chapter on business process flows. Business process flows are one of the key components in making your model-driven app usable. Business process flows are well liked by users as they let the user know where they are in the process, and what data and actions they are required to perform next.
