FlexFiles Architect: Building A Dataflow

Note: SoftNAS® FlexFiles Architect is a part of our legacy SoftNAS Platinum offering. It will not be visible in versions above 4.4.1 of our SoftNAS product, and is included here for legacy purposes.

A DataFlow Manager (DFM or nifi user) is able to build an automated dataflow using the FlexFiles/NiFi UI. This is accomplished by clicking and dragging components from the toolbar to the canvas. The following articles will explain the details of these components as well as go into further depth on how a dataflow is built:
