Has anyone figured out a way to document a ProcessFlow .flo file? :banghead:

There are a few things you can do. If you right click on the background of the process flow you can access it's properties. Within the properties you can type a fairly long description. (I have not tested it's length).

Each node can also be named. By default you get meaningless things like "Email" and "Branch" and "Assign". Showing process names will be helpful to the reader (similar to using meaningful program variables).

I know of no way to include in-line comments or to print this stuff out.

I gave up on documenting withing the flow.... however you can include something like this to include comments in assign, branch and start nodes

<!-- comment -->

I created a word document for each of my flows ... I copy everything from the flow nodes to the word document and I do a simple screen shot of the flow ...

I know someone else that used Visio to create a diagram of the flow but I felt like this was double to work.

Now in LSF9 with PFlow 9 the designer includes a description tab on each node. I still don't know of a way to print it out nicely with comments (haven't tried on 9 yet), but at least you can add extensive notes on each node as well as the flow itself.
