Flowriter can automatically suggest a flowchart that documents potential logic and actions based on a Story's name. This can be a time-saver when starting with a blank Story.
Manually edit the Story flowchart later, or have Flowriter generate a new flowchart at any time
Open the Story, and click the Generate button on the toolbar:
On the Generate content popup, turn the Flowchart option On:
Generating a flowchart will use 1 credit.
The popup provides information about the amount of credits required for the action and your credit balance before you start generation. See Use credits
If the Story already has a flowchart a yellow warning icon is displayed — as in the above example. This indicates that the new, generated flowchart will replace the existing one. This cannot be undone.
Click the Generate button. A progress indicator will display while the flowchart is generated. This may take a minute or two:
When complete, the suggested flowchart is displayed:
You can write Story names in any of the supported Content Generation Languages. Flowriter will generate flowchart steps and notes based on a Story's name in the content generation language set in (in order of preference):
The content generation language set for the current Story — see: Change a Story's language; or
The default content generation language — see: Supported languages.
When generating flowcharts, make the Story name as descriptive as possible. For example:
As a pet owner, I want to see my pet's location history displayed on a map, so that I can see where they have been
A web page that displays a pet's real time location on a map based on their bluetooth tracker data
A settings screen in the app that allows a user to add and remove their pet profiles
