Definition
#

It is used to model complex problems in an easy to read and understandable fashion.

Syntax and Semantic
#

An Diaflux workflow is defined inside the markup DiaFlux

Example#

Diaflux Editor#

The Diaflux workflow may be edited using the Visual Editor.

Diaflux elements#

• Start node: entry point for a DiaFlux
  
• Exit node: exit point of a DiaFlux
  
• Action node: select a question, solution, or other flowchart and model an interaction with this it.
  
• Comment node: use this node to provide annotations to transitions or nodes.
  
• SnapShot node: used to inhibit the truth maintainance to reverse decisions before this snapshot. (Behaves like a diode.)
  

Editor tools
#

• Save flowchart and close editor
  
• Revert changes
  
• Close editor (without saving)
  
• Delete flowchart
  

Best Practices
#

• A DiaFlux flowchart shall have a unique name.
  
• One flowchart needs to be checked for Autostart. (That is where a session workflow will start.)
  
• Do not overload a single flowchart. Model rather small parts and reference them in a parent flowchart.
  Rule of thumb: Not more than a monitors field of view.
