tagging a description to icons

Hello, 

 

Is there a way to number the icons in a flow and link them to a list of description where I can describe what these icons do in my flow. 

 

Cheers

Tony

Hi @TonyMu 

 

I recommend annotating your tools as shown in the photo below. Then you export your Workflow Messages and work on your documentation from there.

Hello @TonyMu ,

 

Every tool has a number associated to it which is unchangable. You can see it on the configuration window (red circle) under annotation 4th icon:

The name on the green circle is the one you can configure and set up. You can even write annotations if needed to let the people know what each tool does.

 

Tip: By using the shortcut "Cntrl + F" you can even search for the specific tool on your documentation using the number associated to the tool.

 

Regards
