Method 1 - Save And Test

The save and test feature reduces flows development time by allowing designers to test flowss, business rules and mapped PDFs without leaving the flows designer. Modifications needed after testing can be quickly addressed since you will still be in the flows designer once you close the popup window. This is particularly helpful when building, troubleshooting, and testing flowss, business rules and mapped PDFs.

When the Image Added save and test is clicked, the flows is saved in the background, and the Test popup window displays reflecting the newly saved version of your flows. The flows will behave exactly as it will when users access it. To test the flows, just complete it as your users would and click Submit

When you close the Test popup, you will be on whatever designer page you were on when the save and test icon was clicked. This allows the designer to go right back to making changes after closing the Test popup.

You will see the Image Added save and test icon:

  • On the  designer , rules and PDF mapping pages.
  • An inflowsational processing message as shown in the image is displayed after the icon is clicked until the test window opens.

  • if your flows contains business rules they will be validated before the test popup displays and you will see this message:

  • If flows/field validation errors are detected, closing the test popup returns you to the designer where you can quickly make the correction and retest. 
    If rule validation errors are detected, the designer is notified and given the option to correct before the Test popup is displayed.

  • The flows version increases by 1 every time you click on the save and test icon.

If you use the Save and Test feature to save the latest versions when developing your flows, simply click the Image Added Cancel icon when you are ready to leave the designer.
