Note

If there is limited display space in the center panel, the remaining contexts will be available in the More dropdown.

Selecting any of the rows in the context structure that display lists of contexts on grids (either by selecting any point of the row or by marking the selection box on the left side of the row) will enable the action buttons above the grid and allow you to perform operations on the selected row, namely Add, Edit and Remove.

Action buttons for Context Structure entries

The order of these contexts can be determined through a configuration entry present in /Cmf/Guis/Configuration/FlowStepContexts/Contexts, where you can define the sequence of the contexts that will be displayed. For more information, see System Configuration Entries.

Info

If you do not have access to a Data Group Role defined for the Step, the name of the Step will be shown as three consecutive dots. For more information, see Data Groups.
