Different flows in the final App.

Hi,

When talking about different flows, does that mean App will need to show different options based on different users? I mean, can you give me an example how the different flows would make a difference in the implementation.

Thanks, Tariq.

It really depends on the product. For example, I work on products that provide complex user permission options to administrators. Depending on the permissions that a particular user has, they either see or don't see certain UI elements. However, in the case of the demo app that we are building in this lesson, all options are most likely available to any user but we are assuming that the options that Bryan and Sara use are different. So the 2 different flows don't really represent 2 different UIs. Instead, they represent to different workflows in the same UI.

During the onboarding phase of this product, it's possible that the user defines how they want to use the app and then the app makes certain settings default to that user but that is beyond the scope of this lesson.

One way could be how an app works for an administrator vs a standard user.

For instance, a study group may have an app, where users can add notecards to study. However the admin could have options to add / remove users, create new sub-groups, or delete stacks of cards, etc.
