Flow Targets, Flow Direction, Current Flow and Default Flow
In the editor of a Repository Workspace, there is an area at the bottom labeled "Flow Targets". This area contains a table with four columns : Name, Flow Direction, Current Flow, Default Flow. In these table, my customer has added three Streams and is playing with various configurations of incomings and outgoings in the columns Flow Direction, Current Flow and Default Flow, without having a clear understanding of how it is supposed to work (I have a screen capture, but I can't post it because my reputation is < 60).
I have to explain how all these configurations works, but I haven't found detailed explanation.
Where can I find documentation on how all these configuration works, especially when several Streams are set with various incomings/outgoings in the various columns ?
Thanks for you help.

Thank you for this answer. The video and the explanation perfectly fit my needs.
Hi Shasikant,
Thank you for the explanation.
Can you please confirm if the flow direction between streams works in same way ? i.e,
I have stream A, where I have defined the flow direction as "outgoing" to Flow Target : Stream B, so that I should be able to deliver from Stream A to Stream B. Now, Do I need to go to Stream B and define the flow direction as "incoming" for flow target: Stream A, to be able to accept the change sets?
Also, do I need to go to Stream B and set the flow direction as "Outgoing" for the flow target : Stream A, in order to be able to deliver from Stream B to Stream A?
In such case, we will be able to flow change sets to and from both streams so in which context do we need to set both "incoming, outgoing" ?
Please clarify.
Thanks in advance!
>> Do I need to go to Stream B and define the flow direction as "incoming" for flow target: Stream A, to be able to accept the change sets?
So is it right to conclude that we need to define the flow targets in both streams A & B in this example.. to be able to see the "pending changes view" from any stream's point of view and eventually be able to do accept/deliver ?
Please let me know if you need further details.
That is correct... but from your example I believe you just need to setup Stream A's flow target as Stream B and you can accept changes or deliver changes to Stream B.
