Export Current Flow¶
The Export Current Flow task allows users to export the flow they are currently working on.
Even though this task is located in the General task family, its layout is similar to the Export tasks layout, as it shares some of them features.
The Options tab¶
The task is made of only one tab, the Options Tab, which is divided into four panes:
The Export Mode, where users can select the way they want to export the flow.
The Location controller, where users can choose where their files will be saved.
The RFL File configuration, where users can set and configure the exported flow’s characteristics.
The Recipients for export via email, where users can specify email addresses, to whom the flow will be sent if the Export Mode is set on Send via email or Both.
