Step Flow Editor
The step flow editor defines processing steps, decision logic, and data transformations between architecture map nodes.
Describing Data Processing Steps
Step flows define what happens between nodes in an architecture map. They are constrained graph editors with process nodes, decision nodes, and configurable edges that describe how data is transformed, validated, and routed as it moves through a pipeline. Rather than leaving processing logic as a black box, step flows make it visible and reviewable.
Node Configuration
Each node carries a configuration panel where you describe what the step does. Process nodes have free-form descriptions and structured metadata fields. Decision nodes have condition descriptions and branch labels. The configuration is designed to capture intent clearly so that implementation teams know exactly what each step should accomplish.
Publishing Step Flows
Step flows are published as part of architecture maps. In the published site, viewers can see the processing pipeline between any two architecture nodes, making the data transformation logic visible to the entire team. This bridges the gap between high-level architecture diagrams and the implementation detail that developers need.
