The task indicator\n*hourglass_full* shows the status of\ntasks like training.\n\n### Build and Manage tabs (4)\n\nThe **Build** tab contains sections for managing flows and pages.\nWhen you select a flow in the flow section,\nthe pages contained within the flow are listed in the pages section.\n\nThe **Manage** tab contains resources and tools available to the agent:\nintents, entity types, webhooks, etc.\n\n### Graph settings (5)\n\nThese buttons provide various controls\nfor viewing and interacting with the agent graph.\n\n### Agent settings and simulator buttons (6)\n\nThe *settings* **Agent Settings** button\nopens the agent settings panel. The *forum*\n**Test Agent** button opens the [simulator](#simulator) panel.\n\n### Graph (7)\n\nThe graph shows a visual representation of the selected flow,\nsimilar to a state machine diagram.\nEach node of the graph represents a page or flow start page.\nYou can click a node to expand or contract it.\nWhen expanded, you can edit a nodes data.\n\nThe first node of the graph, called **Start**,\nis the start page of the flow.\n\nConnecting lines from one node to another represent possible [transitions](/dialogflow/cx/docs/concept/handler).\nThey are color-coded in the following way:\n\n- Blue represents transitions defined for intent requirements or for intent and condition requirements.\n- Orange represents transitions defined for condition requirements only.\n- Cyan represents transitions defined for [event handlers](/dialogflow/cx/docs/concept/handler#event).\n- Grey represents transitions other than described above (for example, a mixture of the above mentioned transition types).\n\nWhen a transition can lead to another flow,\nthe target flow is shown as a node.\n\n### Editing and simulator panels (8)\n\nWhen editing agent content or testing the agent with the\n[simulator](#simulator),\ncontent-specific panels open on the right side of the console.\nThese panels can be expanded to fill available console area,\ncontracted to fill a portion of the right side of the console,\nor closed when you are finished.\n\nSimulator\n---------\n\nThe simulator is used to test your agent.\nYou can have a conversation with your agent\nwhile monitoring changes in session state.\n\nYou can also use the simulator to create executable\n[test cases](/dialogflow/cx/docs/concept/test-case).\n\n### Simulator settings\n\nWhen you first open the simulator,\nyou need to select an\n[agent environment or flow versions](/dialogflow/cx/docs/concept/version)\nand an active\n[flow](/dialogflow/cx/docs/concept/flow).\nIn most cases,\nyou should use the draft environment and default start flow.\n\nFrom buttons above the simulator, you can also:\n\n- Enable or disable [webhook](/dialogflow/cx/docs/concept/webhook) calls at any time with the webhook toggle button.\n- Enable or disable [partial responses](/dialogflow/cx/docs/concept/fulfillment#partial-response).\n- Enable or disable [sentiment analysis](/dialogflow/cx/docs/concept/sentiment).\n\n### Simulator input\n\nWhen interacting with the simulator,\nyou provide end-user input as text,\nthen press enter or click the\nsend sendbutton.\nIn addition to plain text,\nyou can choose alternate input types with the\ninput input selector:\n\n- **Parameter** : Inject a [parameter](/dialogflow/cx/docs/concept/parameter) value. You can provide new parameters or provide preset values for existing parameters.\n- **Event** : Invoke an [event](/dialogflow/cx/docs/concept/handler#event).\n- **DTMF**: Send dual-tone multi-frequency signaling (Touch-Tone) input for telephony interactions.\n\n### Simulator session state\n\nWhen using the simulator to have a conversation with your agent,\nsession state is shown to the left of the conversation.\nThe currently active flow, currently active page,\npopulated parameter values, and\n[execution steps](/dialogflow/cx/docs/concept/page#visualization)\nare shown.\nThis information may help you debug an agent\nor verify its behavior in certain conversation scenarios.\n\n### Simulator limitations\n\nFor the simulator, the following limitations apply:\n\n- You cannot set a parameter value to null.\n- Conversations created using simulator are inaccessible using API methods."]]
