When you use Scenario Administrator in SAS^® Visual Investigator, you might encounter an issue with opening a flow when you attempt to edit the flow.

The problem occurs under these conditions:

1. You create a new flow.
2. You associate the Alerts data source with the flow.
3. You save the flow.
4. You exit the flow.

When you try to edit the flow at a later point, the application stops responding, and you see a "Loading" message. 

The application is nonresponsive because the Alerts data source is intended to have heterogeneous relationships. It is not intended to be used with scenarios. 

The workaround is to not select the Alerts data source when creating a flow.
