A Flat Sequence Structure is a primitive [[Functions Palette/Programming/Structures|structure]] that can have one or more [[Subdiagram|subdiagrams]] (also known as "Frames"), that are executed sequentially from left to right.

<br clear="all">
== Adding and removing frames ==

Frames can be added and removed via the right-click menu:

{| class="wikitable"
! Option
! Description
|-
| <tt>Add Frame After</tt>
| Adds a frame '''after''' the current frame
|-
| <tt>Add Frame Before</tt>
| Adds a frame '''before''' the current frame
|-
| <tt>Delete This Frame</tt>
| Deletes the current frame
|}

== Best practice ==

* Use the flow of data between nodes instead of flat sequence structures<ref>[https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-News/Top-5-LabVIEW-Rookie-Mistakes/ba-p/3483109 LabVIEW News: Top 5 LabVIEW Rookie Mistakes]</ref>
* Use ''error in (no error)'' and ''error out'' terminals instead of flat sequence structures to enforce sequential execution of VIs.
* In [[LabVIEW 2018]] and later, use [[Functions Palette/Programming/Timing/Stall Data Flow|Stall Data Flow]] instead of a flat sequence structure to delay execution.
