File Types

Tap: TeleFlow Application

Image:TFIconPage-TAP.png The TeleFlow Application file is the project file which is a container for TeleFlow Flowcharts. This file is created and edited by the TeleFlow Designer, tested with the TeleFlow Simulator and then deployed to do useful service on the TeleFlow Server

Tam: TeleFlow Flowchart

Image:TFIconPage-TAM.png The TeleFlow Flowchart file is the software code file where functions are defined to handle all the logic and coding for a telephony application. This file is created and edited by the TeleFlow Designer, tested with the TeleFlow Simulator and then deployed to do useful service on the TeleFlow Server

Tal: TeleFlow Line List

File Structures

All files used internally by TeleFlow, where possible are being converted to XML. Currently, the Designer expresses the Tap/Tam structures alternatively as XML. The Server software is in the process of having its file system updated to XML. In the meantime, if you need specific documentation on how the Tap/Tam file structure is put together, please refer to this file:

Please note that this document includes information about Steps which are now entirely expressed within the TeleFlow installation. See the C:\Program Files\TeleFlow\tf_steps_eng.xml file for details.
