Subscribed Flows

Subscribed Flows refers to a feature that allows a user to manage all the flows that they have created. Additionally, it provides an option for the user to subscribe to any available flows, which gives them extended flexibility to work with and utilize other flows. By subscribing to available flows, users can access and integrate pre-existing flows into their own workflows, thereby reducing the amount of time and effort required to create new ones from scratch. This feature is especially useful for users who want to streamline their workflow and optimize their productivity.

Schedule Flow

The user has the flexibility to determine when a flow should be executed, either through a scheduled time interval, a trigger function or as a routine task. For example, if modifications are required after a data load, the user can schedule a trigger to initiate the flow once the data has been loaded. For instance, if the date format is different on a dataset and it needs to be corrected all as one format for our platform, instead of manually making the changes, running the flow would be a more efficient and manageable solution for the user.

To establish a schedule for a flow, click on the icon located under the action field of the specific flow in Run Configuration page and select the Schedule option, this action will lead to the Manage Schedules page.

Schedule

The Manage Schedule page exhibits a tabular representation of all the schedules pertaining to a specific flow. This includes the schedule type, name, last run time, next run time, dataset and action column which provides the option to delete.

When creating a schedule, the initial step is to choose the Schedule Type, which can either be time-based or event-triggered.

For a Time Schedule, the user can create a Time Schedule by giving it a name and adding a description for better understanding. They can set the schedule to be hourly, daily, weekly or monthly. For each option, they can specify the time and days on which it should be executed, as well as the frequency of repetition. Additionally, the user can select a time zone for the scheduler.

Time Schedule

For an Event Trigger schedule, the user can name the trigger and select the type of trigger either Data Load or Republish. They can also choose event keys and the relevant dataset. If the trigger is based on data load, the scheduled flow will be triggered each time the selected dataset is loaded. Similarly, for a republish trigger, the scheduled flow will be triggered every time the data is republished.
