Customer Projects

Using Dataflow in customer projects generally consists of a few steps.

Preparation Phase

In this phase you can either select a project that we ship with our installation or design a new project yourself.

Select a predesigned project that is suitable for your needs
The projects that are readily shipped with Dataflow can serve many common customer needs. You can also make arrangements on them if they are close to what you are aiming to achieve.

Design a new project
In the core of Dataflow design, lies flexibility. You can and should design your own projects if you feel like you want to achieve something out of ordinary. The project design page lets you arrange your own flows which are possibly never before seen by anyone else. If your case is unique or you need to integrate with additional services you may also design new nodes. You shall check Project Design before doing so.

Testing Phase

You should test your projects before using them in the production, even more so if you are tailoring a custom project.
See Testing for details.

Production Phase

If you are using a project that is shipped with Dataflow you shall just continue using it in your production environment with the settings you have used and verified in your tests.

If you have developed a custom project and maybe even some custom nodes, you shall just transfer this project to your production. In this case, please check Migration.
