# Flows

> Create and manage automated workflows

## Overview

Flows are automated workflows that define sequences of operations for data processing, transformation, or other administrative tasks. They can be run manually, scheduled, or triggered by events.

Navigate to **Admin > Data Sources > Flows**.

## Viewing Flows

The flows page displays a grid of flow cards, each showing:

* Flow name and description
* **Status badge** — Active, Running, Paused, or Draft
* Schedule indicator (if the flow runs on a schedule)
* Last execution time

## Creating a Flow

1. Click **Create New Flow**
2. Define the flow name and description
3. Use the visual flow editor to build your workflow
4. Save and optionally activate the flow

## Flow Editor

The flow editor provides a visual interface for building workflows by connecting steps and defining logic.

### Flow Node Types

| Node type      | Description                                                                                                                    |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Enrichment** | Runs an enrichment rule to enrich the knowledge graph. Configure by selecting an existing rule from **Admin > Graph > Rules**. |
| **Reader**     | Scans data sources for new or updated files                                                                                    |
| **Ingestion**  | Processes documents and extracts entities into the graph                                                                       |

See [Enrichment Rules](/admin-guide/enrichment-rules) for how to create and configure rules.

## Running Flows

### Manual Execution

Click **Run Now** on any flow card to execute it immediately. The status changes to **Running** and you can monitor progress in the execution details.

### Scheduled Execution

Flows can be configured to run on a schedule. Scheduled flows show an indicator on their card.

## Monitoring Executions

### Execution History

Each flow maintains a history of executions. View the list at the flow's executions page, which shows:

* Execution start and end times
* Duration
* Status (success, failure, in progress)
* Number of items processed

### Execution Details

Click any execution to see detailed information:

* Step-by-step execution log
* Input and output data for each step
* Error messages for failed steps
* Processing metrics

## Managing Flows

| Action           | Description                                       |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **Edit**         | Modify flow configuration and steps               |
| **Run Now**      | Execute the flow immediately                      |
| **Pause/Resume** | Temporarily disable or re-enable a scheduled flow |
| **Delete**       | Remove the flow (requires confirmation)           |

<Warning>
  Deleting a flow also removes its execution history. Export any important execution data before deleting.
