Canvas

The Canvas is where data-flos get created and edited.

  • The Canvas is where a data-flo is built.

  • Adaptors get added, removed, and altered.

  • Run permissions are set for the data-flo (i.e. who can access the data-flo's Run Page).

  • The descriptions and details that will be visible to users on the Run Page are set.

  • For a particular data-flo, the canvas is only accessible to its author.

Resize the panels

The Debugger panel and the Right Sidebar can be resized as needed. Hover over the separation until the line becomes heavy (dark) and the cursor changes to a dragger.
