Flow, Devo’s correlation engine has received a major update with the release of Devo Platform 8.0! This new version includes new Templates and Instances.

Templates & Instances
Templates define the general layout, design and pattern of a flow. Modified templates are instances of the parent template.
Example
In the context of an alert system, a Template for an ‘each’ alert defines the flow structure then you can create an instance for the “each” type of alert.
Modifying a Template updates the existing instances. Modifying an instance only affects that instance.
The benefits of this new features are many. You can quickly edit many flows by updating the template. You can also quickly address many similar use cases with instances of a template.
