Create a user-defined node that
packages a subflow by creating a user-defined node project, then creating
the user-defined node.
- After you have created a user-defined node, you can edit its
properties in the Palette editor.
- You can define as many user-defined nodes as you want in the
same user-defined node project.
To create any type of user-defined node, use the following
steps:
- Create a user-defined node project:
- To open the New User-defined
Node Project wizard, click .
- Either choose an existing category, or create a category
by clicking Create a new category. Your

editor under the category you specify for the project. You can have
only one category in each user-defined node project.
- Enter the details for the remainder of the fields as
required, then click Finish.
A user-defined node project is created.
- Create a user-defined node:
- To open the New User-defined Node wizard,
click .
- Select the user-defined node project that you created

- Enter the details for the remainder of the fields as
required.
- Select Implemented as a subflow.
The Message Flow editor opens.
- Click Finish.
- Decide on the location of your user-defined node in the

You can now define the reusable logic and the terminals
