Creating a Flow

Only users with the managing role can create new flows. By clicking on at the top right of the corner, you will be brought to the flow creation page. 

1. The three-striped symbol next to the create button gives you the option to create a single flow or a Flowcombine or FLOWseries.
2. Choose the source:

No source selected WISEflow SIS

You will create a flow from scratch.

1. Enter a title for the flow. This field is mandatory when creating a new flow.
2. Add a subtitle. 
3. Select the flow type that suits the needs of the exam. Note that the flow type cannot be changed after a flow has been created. Review the Key Concepts in WISEflow in the article about the different flow types.
4. Select the purpose of the flow from: Examination, Coursework, Bachelor's Thesis or Master's Thesis.
5. If you have selected Coursework, a checkbox appears allowing you to identify that you also wish to the assessor on this flow. This means that you will be added as an assessor and whenever someone is enrolled on the flow (whether by the manager or by self enrolment), you will automatically be allocated as their assessor.
   

   Please note that this feature is only available with the paid-for Formative Assessment module

6. When you have entered a title and selected a flow type, the button Create flow can be selected. 

You can search through a list of flows or enter a a flow ID number of a flow that you have already created on your licence.

When you have chosen an existing flow, you will be able to use the information of the source flow and create a copy with amended existing information. Making a copy of a flow is also available directly from the header of a flow page. 

You cannot change the flow type but you can change all other information from the source flow. See Copying a Flow.

If the WISEflow licence is integrated with a student information system, the manager can create flows using data from the system. For more information, review the WISEflow SIS Integration article

Copying a Flow

In addition to creating a flow and using an existing flow in WISEflow as the source data, it is also possible for a manager to copy a flow directly from within the flow.

You can then select the information you wish to be copied to the flow:
