Metric presentation within a flow builder

A computer program product comprising computer-readable program code capable of being executed by one or more processors when retrieved from a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the program code comprising computer-readable instructions configurable to cause:

• providing, for presentation via a display device, a flow builder application including a graphical representation of a flow, the flow including a plurality of elements, each of the elements corresponding to a set of computer-readable instructions;
• obtaining flow performance data associated with the flow, the obtaining of the flow performance data associated with the flow including ascertaining one or more paths of the flow that have been traversed during an instance of execution of the flow;
• generating or updating a set of metrics associated with the flow based, at least in part, on the flow performance data, the set of metrics indicating, for each of a plurality of paths of the flow, one or more metrics collected across a plurality of users of a database system that accessed the flow, each of the paths of the flow corresponding to a subset of the plurality of elements of the flow;
• providing, for presentation via the display device and within the flow builder application, an indication of the set of metrics associated with the flow in relation to one or more elements of the flow such that at least a first portion of the set of metrics is provided for presentation in close proximity to a visual representation of a first one of the elements of the flow and a second portion of the set of metrics is provided for presentation in close proximity to a visual representation of a second one of the plurality of elements of the flow;
• processing a request to modify the flow, the request being received via the flow builder application, the request to modify the flow including:
• an indication of an additional element to add to the flow at a particular position within the flow, an indication of removal of one of the elements of the flow, or an indication of a change in position of one of the plurality of elements of the flow from an existing position within the flow to a modified position within the flow;
• and
• modifying the graphical representation of the flow responsive to processing the request to modify the flow.

A method, comprising:

• providing, for presentation via a display device, a flow builder application including a graphical representation of a flow, the flow including a plurality of elements, each of the elements corresponding to a set of computer-readable instructions;
