Diaflux elements#
The Diaflux workflow may be edited using the Visual Editor.- Start node: entry point for a DiaFlux
- Exit node: exit point of a DiaFlux
- Action node: select a question or solution here and model an interaction with this node.
- 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.)

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