Display Screen

About Display Screen

The Display Screen node is used to display information to the end user inside a workflow.

It is a UI node and can be placed at different points in the workflow to show instructions, context, confirmation messages, or end-state messaging.


How Display Screen works

When the workflow reaches this node, the configured screen is shown to the end user.

The screen can include a title, subtitle, content, and one or two action buttons. The available output paths depend on which buttons are enabled.

The Display Screen node controls what is shown to the end user on that step. It does not determine approval, rejection, or completion status by itself.


Settings

The node currently includes the following settings:

  • Node Name
  • Description
  • Screen Title
  • Screen Subtitle
  • Content
  • Show Confirm/Continue Button
  • Confirm/Continue Button Text
  • Show Cancel/No Button
  • Cancel/No Button Text

The Screen Subtitle is optional, and the Content field is used for the main message body shown to the user.

The enabled buttons determine which output paths are available from the node, and the button text can be customized for each enabled button.


Terminal Screens

If both Show Confirm/Continue Button and Show Cancel/No Button are disabled, the screen becomes a terminal node. Terminal screens display information to the user but have no action buttons. When a user views a terminal screen, the workflow completes and does not continue to any further nodes. Use terminal screens for end-of-workflow messages such as success confirmations, rejections, or completion notifications.


Connection Behavior

The Display Screen node can be used anywhere in the workflow where a user-facing screen is needed.

When buttons are configured, they create output paths:

  • Confirm/Continue button creates the "confirm" output path (green handle)
  • Cancel/No button creates the "cancel" output path (red handle)

The Display Screen node cannot be connected directly FROM a service node, because service nodes do not continue into UI nodes. A Display Screen node can, however, connect TO a service node if the workflow should run a background step after the user continues.


Common Uses

The Display Screen node can be used for many types of user-facing messages, including:

  • introducing the workflow before the first required step
  • explaining what the user should do next
  • showing a success, rejection, timeout, or completion message
  • asking the user to confirm before the workflow continues
