FloQast Transform's Visual Agent Builder
The Visual Agent Builder (VAB) is the new default experience for creating and managing agents in FloQast Transform. While the core logic of prompting and data transformation remains the same, the interface has moved from a linear list to a graphical canvas.
Quick Comparison: Classic vs. Canvas
Navigating the New UI
1. The Toggle: On the Agent List page, use the toggle in the top-right to switch between Canvas and Classic views.
2. The Canvas Menu (Top-Left):
- Input Library: View and manage all global inputs for the agent.
- Skill Library: The repository of all actions (Transform, Data Query, Human Review, etc.) you can drag onto the canvas.
3. Canvas Controls (Bottom-Center):
- Grab Mode: Move your view around the canvas.
- Drag Mode: Select and move one or multiple blocks.
- Cleanup Icon: Automatically aligns your blocks into a structured flow.
Building & Editing Workflows
Adding Actions: Drag a skill from the library or hover over a connection line and click the "+" button to insert a step between two existing nodes.
Connecting Logic: Click the circle at the bottom of a block and drag the line to the input circle of the next block.
Configuring Steps: Click any block to open the side configuration panel. Here, you can enter prompts, select inputs, and view LLM responses. To rename, click the pencil icon next to the skill name.
Change Propagation: When an upstream step is modified and saved, Transform automatically updates downstream steps to ensure data integrity across the workflow.
Testing and Execution
Live Tracking: As an agent runs, the canvas highlights the active node in real-time, providing immediate visibility into the agent's progress.
Run Overview: A side drawer opens during execution to show progress, input requirements, and results without leaving the canvas.
