Service Studio

OutSystems already provides entity relationship diagrams after creating entities, but it would be even more useful to have a simple, editable flowchart feature to visually represent the data or process flow throughout the project.

This feature would help developers and teams easily map out how data moves between screens, actions, and entities  without needing to use external tools like Draw.io, Miro, or Lucidchart. It would be a quick way to narrate workflows or data movements directly within OutSystems during client discussions or internal planning.


Example:

For instance, consider a project with entities like Customer, Order, and Invoice. A built-in flowchart could show how data flows:
Customer → Order → Invoice → Payment, and developers could edit or annotate the flow to demonstrate logic or upcoming changes.

This visual approach would make it easier to explain ideas, document workflows, and align technical and non-technical stakeholders all within Service Studio.
