Domino Flows comes with a comprehensive user experience to monitor flows. This includes an integrated Domino UI, along with access to the native Flyte UI.
This document goes through some of the available monitoring experiences.
The Domino Flows UI can be accessed by navigating to the Flows page within your Project view. This section documents some of the key experiences that are available on this page.
Flow and task list

Note
| To enable file rendering, you must explicitly specify the file type when you define the input or output. See defining flows for more details. |
The Flyte UI can be accessed directly at https://{DOMINO-URL}/flows/console/select-project. Within the Flyte UI, you can search for a specific Project or directly click into any of the other pages on the left. There are also several entry points from the Domino UI that will take you directly to specific pages in the Flyte experience.

Note
| There is a 1:1 mapping between Projects in Flyte and Domino. |
The Flyte UI offers many of the same capabilities as the Domino UI but also includes some additional, useful features. This section documents some of the key additional views that can help to monitor flows.
|
Note
| Not all native Flyte capabilities are fully supported, so there may be some actions in the Flyte UI that don’t currently work. Additional capabilities will be enabled during future releases. |
