Help button

This button displays the Help window.

Basic information area

This area allows you to enter an item name and provides an explanation of the item.

The following table describes the items displayed and the restrictions on the strings you can specify in this area:

No.	Displayed item name	Input format	Restrictions on the strings you can specify	Mandatory or optional	Default value
1	Item name	Text box	A 1- to 45-byte string. You can specify half-width alphanumeric characters, underscores (_), and multibyte characters.	Mandatory	None
2	Details	Text box	A character string not exceeding 1,024 bytes. You can use line breaks.	Optional	None

Note

Each character in the string you enter in the text box is counted differently in bytes depending on the character. For the conversion rate of the characters you enter into bytes, see C.2 Conversion rate of characters into bytes. Note that text boxes cannot contain only line breaks and/or half-width spaces.

Set icon area

This area allows you to set the icon to be displayed in the Select item area. By default, nothing is displayed in this area. If no icon is specified, the default action flow icon is applied.

Select item area

Select the items you want to assign to the action flow. When you select the Action tab or the Event monitor tab, the selectable items show up.

Flow map area

This area allows you to set the order in which to execute the actions assigned to the action flow. You can do this by selecting one of the actions assigned to this area and then drawing a relation line (arrow) from it.

By right-clicking the relation line (arrow), you can delete the execution order definition.
