Number of action cells

Shows the number of action cells in the current FLOW script.

The number of action cells in a script can impact FLOW's performance, and for this reason it is recommended that you limit the number of action cells in a script to a maximum of 300. 

The colour of the indicator changes from green to amber at 200 action cells, and then to red when you reach 300.

You are however able to build and save FLOW scripts with 300 or more action cells.

Note: you are able to split large FLOW scripts, into parent scripts and subsidiary scripts, as described in the section Implement a Subsidiary Script.
