Running flows in the Designer
When you develop a flow in the Flow Designer you can run the flow directly from the Designer either in the Design Server, or on a different runtime environment.
Preparing to run a flow from the Designer
Make these preparations in order to run your flow from the Designer.
Variables section options
The Variables section lists in table form the flow variables that are defined in the flow.

Design Server
The documentation provided here describes how to use the Design Server.
- Projects
  This documentation describes Design Server projects.
- Schemas
- Maps
- Flows
  A flow node invokes a sub flow within a flow. Sub-flows need not be wired to other nodes; it is valid to have a flow that is comprised of multiple sub-flows that each have listeners.

  - Add a user
    These procedures describe how to use the Design Server to add a new user.
  - Create a project
    Create a new project using Design Server.
  - Import a project
    Import a project using Design Server.
  - Create a flow
  - Define mapping between source and target
    This documentation describes how to use Design Server to define mapping between source and target.

      - Server section options
        The server drop-down in the Run Properties dialog allows you to specify these options:
      - Variables section options
        The Variables section lists in table form the flow variables that are defined in the flow.
      - Input Data section options
        If the flow has any input terminals, then the Input Data section provides a way to provide input to the flow terminal.
    - Running the flow
      After you specify the server, variables and input data, using the Run properties dialog, you can run the flow.
    - Viewing logs
      The log for an individual node can be viewed by right-clicking on the node in the canvas and selecting View Log from the menu.
    - Viewing flow terminal data
      The input and output data of the flow can be viewed by clicking on the node containing the flow terminal and then clicking on the input or output terminal icon in the structure.
    - Displaying link data
      The data that was sent down a link in the flow can be viewed using either of these methods:
  - Auto-mapper
    The Auto-mapper functionality allows for similarly named fields to be automatically mapped from inputs to outputs. This alleviates the need to manually map each field individually.
- Flows
  This documentation describes how Flows can be run from REST API, listeners, or they can be scheduled.
- Schema designer
  Use the schema designer to define, modify, and view schemas. A schema describes the syntax, structure, and semantics of your data.

Variables section options

The Variables section lists in table form the flow variables that are defined in the flow.

The name of each variable along with its value are listed.

The values of the variables can be specified in this table. Additional variables can be added, or rows can be deleted from the table. The flow will be run with the set of variables defined in this table.
