When to use Flow Designer vs Workflow Editor?

[peterraeves]

I am learning up on the new Flow Designer / IntegrationHub.

What confuses me is, what this offers more than the workflow editor. It just seems like WEv2, with the same functionality, but with a different UI around it. Though I have to admit that it makes flows easier to create, there is one very big flaw with FD, what makes me think I will not use it often, is the fact that you cannot script the condition... 

So in what cases should I best use the WE? And in what cases should I best use the FD?

Between two consecutive approvals activities. Try it once & if it worked let me know.

I didn't get chance to implement it.

Is this field necessary for the timer?  I just want the timer to always run.

Hi Sudhanshu,

the timer is not preventing the problem...it's still taking the 1st approvals that were already approved, and changing them back to "Requested".  This seems like a bug with Flow Designer?

This is one of the approvals from the 1st "Ask For Approval", can you see it got changed back to "Requested" when the 2nd "Ask For Approval" ran.

Then try with if condition:

Like if first approval is approved then ask for second approval: Let's give it a try as well.

Thanks
