Button | Description |
 | Deletes the selected flow step. If you select a step that has children, the children are deleted as well. Equivalent to Edit > Delete. |
 | Moves the selected flow step up in the list. If the selected step cannot be moved up from its current position, this button is not available. (Try promoting or demoting it first.) |
 | Moves the selected flow step down in the list. If the selected step cannot be moved down from its current position, this button is not available. (Try promoting or demoting it first.) |
 | Promotes a flow step in the parent/child hierarchy. This action moves the step up one level in the hierarchy. |
 | Demotes a flow step in the parent/child hierarchy. This action makes the selected step a child of the preceding parent step. (This button is only available when you select a step that can become a child.) |
 | Inserts the previously inserted flow step. Click the  button next to to view the list of flow steps and a list of commonly used services that can be inserted into the flow service as an INVOKE step. You can edit the Window > Preferences > Software AG > Service Development > Flow Service Editor preferences to customize this list of services to suit your needs. |
 | Inserts a MAP step into the flow service. A MAP step performs specified editing operations on the pipeline (for example, adding or dropping variables to or from the pipeline). |
 | Inserts a BRANCH step into the flow service. A BRANCH step executes a specified step based on the value of a specified variable in the pipeline. |
 | Inserts a LOOP step into the flow service. A LOOP step executes a set of steps once for each element in a specified array. |
 | Inserts a REPEAT step into the flow service. A REPEAT step re-executes a set of steps up to a specified number of times based on the successful or non-successful completion of the set. |
 | Inserts a SEQUENCE step into the flow service. A SEQUENCE step groups a set of steps into a series. The SEQUENCE step is implicit in most cases where a group of flow steps are listed one after another. However, it is often useful to explicitly insert the SEQUENCE step to override default operating parameters. It is also useful for setting up the branches of a BRANCH step. |
 | Inserts an EXIT step into the flow service. An EXIT step controls the execution of a flow steps; for example, halt an entire flow from within a series of deeply nested steps, throw an exception without writing a Java service, or exit a LOOP or REPEAT without throwing an exception. |
 | Inserts an INVOKE step into the flow service. Select from the displayed list of services or browse to select a service. |
