Table 1. Properties for Flow Designer
Property	Description
The maximum number of records to return when fetching data sn_flow_designer.action_picker_limit	Specify the maximum number of records a look up action or step can return. Flow Designer ignores records that exceed this limit. Type: integer Default value: 1000 Location: Flow Designer > Properties Learn more: Architecture Overview
Set to True to show duration in the stage column com.glide.hub.flow_engine.stage_display.show_duration	Specify whether flows with stages display a duration. Type: true \| false Default value: true Location: Flow Designer > Properties Learn more: Flow Designer stages
Allow the option for select users to write a script to populate the value of an input on Flow and Action Designers. sn_flow_designer.input_scripts_enabled	Specify whether users can write inline scripts to compute input values. Type: true \| false Default value: true Location: Flow Designer > Properties Learn more: Inline scripts
Specify the log level of system log entries to replicate to the flow log. The system only replicates log entries of the specified level or higher. com.glide.hub.flow_engine.listener_trace.threshold	Specify the threshold required for Flow Designer to replicate a system log entry to the flow log. Flow Designer only replicates system log entry at the given level or higher. Options include: DEBUG INFO WARN ERROR Type: choice Default value: ERROR Location: Flow Designer > Properties
Maximum iterations per loop. sn_flow_designer.max_iterations	The maximum amount of iterations that a loop will run in flow designer. A loop will error out if it iterates beyond this value, preventing infinite loops. Type: integer Default value: 1000 Location: Flow Designer > Properties Learn more: Architecture Overview Note: Changing this value will not effect flows that are already in progress.
Enable flow engine debug messages in the system log com.glide.hub.flow_engine.debug	Enable or disable logging Flow Designer debug messages in the system log. All debug messages start with a `Flow Designer:` string prefix. Type: true \| false Default value: false Location: Flow Designer > Properties Learn more: Architecture Overview
Enable replication of system log entries to the flow log. Only entries replicated to the flow log are visible from the Flow Execution Details page. All log entries are visible from the system log com.glide.hub.flow_engine.listener_trace	Enable or disable replication of system log entries to the flow log. The Flow Execution Details page can only displays log entries available in the flow log. Type: true \| false Default value: false Location: Flow Designer > Properties
Number of times that a flow or subflow can be indirectly triggered during a transaction. com.glide.hub.flow_engine.indirect_recursion_limit	Specify the maximum number of times a flow or subflow permits indirect recursion. Flow Designer ignores all further calls or trigger condition matches from indirect recursion after the limit has been reached. Set the value to any integer equal to or greater than one. The system ignores any property value less than one and instead uses a limit of one. Set the value to one to prevent all indirect recursion. Type: integer Default value: 3 Location: Flow Designer > Properties Learn more: Architecture Overview
Maximum actions per flow. sn_flow_designer.max_actions	Specify the maximum number of actions a flow or subflow can contain. Flow Designer prevents you from adding further actions after the maximum number of actions has been reached. Consider the performance impact raising the maximum number of actions may have. For example, running more actions may conflict with the default transaction quota rule that prevents flows from running longer than an hour. Type: integer Default value: 50 Location: Flow Designer > Properties Learn more: Architecture Overview
Maximum steps per action. sn_flow_designer.max_action_steps	Specify the maximum number of steps that an action can contain. Flow Designer prevents you from adding further steps after the maximum number of steps has been reached. Consider the performance impact raising the maximum number of steps may have. For example, running more steps may conflict with the default transaction quota rule that prevents flows from running longer than an hour. Type: integer Default value: 20 Location: Flow Designer > Properties Learn more: Architecture Overview
Level of reporting data generated by the flow engine com.snc.process_flow.reporting.level	Specify when Flow Designer generates execution details and what information the details include. Options include: Off Flows Only Flows and Actions Flows Actions and Steps Developer Trace Note: Testing an action or flow generates execution details at the Developer Trace level. Type: choice Default value: Flows Actions and Steps Location: Flow Designer > Properties
Truncate runtime values in the flow execution details step configuration. com.snc.process_flow.reporting.serialized.val_size_limit	Specify the number of bytes allowed for runtime values in each step in the flow execution details. To prevent truncation, set the value to an integer equal to or less than zero. Type: integer Default value: 16384 Location: System Properties [sys_properties] table Learn more: Flow execution details
Maximum inputs per action sn_flow_designer.max_action_vars	Specify the maximum number of inputs that can be added to an action. Flow Designer prevents you from adding further inputs after the maximum number of inputs has been reached. Consider the performance impact raising the maximum number of action inputs may have. For example, processing more action inputs may risk the action running for more than an hour and being stopped by the default transaction quota rule. Type: integer Default value: 20 Location: System Properties [sys_properties] table
Maximum script variables per Script step sn_flow_designer.max_script_variables	Specify the maximum number of input and output variables that can be added to a Script step. Flow Designer prevents you from adding further script variables after the maximum number of variables has been reached. Consider the performance impact raising the maximum number of script variables may have. For example, processing more script variables may risk the Script step running for more than an hour and being stopped by the default transaction quota rule. Type: integer Default value: 20 Location: System Properties [sys_properties] table
