# Flow Overview

Flows are interactive online multi-step forms (like 'wizards') which allow you to provide self-service facilities and capture data from external users.

# Anatomy of a flow

A flow represents the form as a whole, and will have a name and visibility setings (whether or not it's publicly accessible), and optionally parameters.

Within a flow, there'll be at least one stage, and within each stage there'll be at least one step and action.

  • Stages represent parts of the form that must be completed as a whole in order to proceed on to the next.

  • Steps are parts of the stage which get divided up for the sake of user friendliness.

  • Actions are what the stage goes on to do with the data it's collected.

  • Parameters (optional) are bits of information that might be needed in order to start a flow, and change how it acts.

Like this but with an f instead of a g.
