The Note node is available in GlobalCapture and GlobalAction.

The Note node is used to store workflow information in a text-based format. It is used to add comments and document your workflow. When added to the design canvas, there are no settings to be configured. Note nodes do not connect to any nodes in the workflow and a workflow can contain as many Note nodes as needed.

How to use the Note node

  1. Drag a Note Node node to the Design Canvas. 

  2. Select the Node node and enter text. Once you begin typing, you can drag and resize the text box within the Node border. When you click off of the Note, the Node border resizes automatically.

  3. To edit a Note, click on the text and begin typing.

Tip

Use Plenty of Notes to Comment Your Workflow

It is a good idea to create detailed descriptions for Workflows and each of the Nodes in the Workflow, and to add additional Notes to the Design Canvas. This is very helpful while designing Workflows, which often represent complex business processes. Detailed documentation is useful for explaining the design when revising the Workflow.

Use Cases

Configure multiple note nodes to provide insight to a workflow.

In this example, I've filled out three different note nodes all configured with relevant information on each step of this workflow process. Note nodes can be used to provide additional insight of a workflow or a specific node, without having to investigate the workflow process further.
