Flow Map Module

The Flow Map Module is a component of the Flow Map Page. It can be positioned on a page by setting its x and y coordinates. You can establish connections between modules by defining one or more outlets for a module that can be linked to other modules on the page.

What is an outlet?

With outlets, you can define connections between your modules. You can have none, one, or multiple outlets. However, it is important to note that having more than 3 outlets will make your Flow Map a complex visualization that is difficult to understand.
