This release note compares the Process Flow visual v2.0.0.12 with the now deprecated SCvation-Flow-Basic visual v1.2.2.11 and does therefore not include any features that were already available before. For a full list of features, please see the Process Flow product page.
Please note that this release is a major breaking change. Replacing a SCvation-Flow-Basic visualization with a Process Flow visualization in your report will not carry over any previously set configuration options and may remove fields from the dropzone. It is for this reason that this version is published as an new and independent visual.

- Selecting a variant will change the values shown in the metric gauges accordingly

- Supports multi selection by holding the ctrl key whilst clicking on additional bars
- Supports selection of the “Rest” variant
- Selection can be reset by clicking anywhere on the process graph background or by clicking again on the selected variant
- Selections can optionally interact with other visuals in your report (documentation)
- Significantly improved the readability of process graphs by utilizing a new layout algorithm
