Flow markers — Completing the Create or Save As form
Because flow markers exist only in the context of the flow rule they are created in, the New window for a flow marker opens only when you click the Save Flow Marker button while running a flow. In the New window, you enter a name and a short description; the name that you enter is stored as the Purpose key part of the flow marker.
When stored, a flow marker rule has three key parts, listed in the following table.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Class Name | Read only. Set to the type of the rule being tested; here, Rule-Obj-Flow, because flow markers are for flows. |
InsName | Read only. Set to the pxInsName value of the flow rule to which this flow marker applies. |
Purpose | Set to the Flow Marker Name that is specified in the New window when the flow marker is saved. |
Create a separate RuleSet to hold flow markers, typically the same RuleSet as your test cases and unit test suites, rather than using a RuleSet that will be moved to a production system. For more information, see Testing Applications in Pega Community.

Rule resolution
As with most rules, when you search for a flow marker, the system shows you only those rules that belong to a RuleSet and version that you have access to.
Flow marker rules are associated with a single tested flow rule (identified by the second key, InsName) and they cannot be qualified by time or circumstance.
