How the office is laid out¶
The office reads the workflow you already built. You do not configure it separately; you shape it by where you put captions and nodes in the FlowDrop editor.
Offices and desks¶
- Every caption node is an office. A caption heads the nodes to its right: same row band, up to 1600 px away on the editor canvas. Its text is the office name.
- Every other node is a desk inside one office.
- A node no caption covers joins the office of the node that feeds it. Whatever is still left goes to an office called Other nodes.
- The entry desk is the
chat_inputnode, or, without one, the first node nothing points to. It gets its own office with no sign.
To get clear offices, place a caption to the left of each group of nodes in the editor and give it a short name.
Front row and back row¶

E[Entry desk] --> A[Office every run passes]
A --> S{switch_gateway}
S -->|route 1| B1[Back-row office]
S -->|route 2| B2[Back-row office]- Offices every run goes through sit in the front row, along the corridor.
- Offices that a
switch_gatewayroutes to sit behind it. During a run only the route it takes lights up; the others stay dim.
In the wide shot each office has a plate on the wall; in close-ups the sign is on the floor.
