Add Documentation for Prep Flow classes and methods #729
Description
Hi!
Update: per comment below, verified FlowItem class and methods already exist. Updating this request for documentation of these items.
Original request:
Currently there is no FlowItem class and methods in TSC. Can we get that on the backlog (similar to DatasourceItem and WorkbookItem)? For now we have done a workaround using metadata api integration, but the code implementation was lengthy.
Cheers!

They do exist (and have for a little while), see: https://github.com/tableau/server-client-python/blob/master/tableauserverclient/models/flow_item.py for the item class, and there are flow endpoints as well

We'll use this issue to track adding the docs to match the code changes from #494

The flow documentation this issue asked for is in the API reference now: the Flows section covers the
FlowItemclass and everyflows.*method (get, get_by_id, publish, download, refresh, update, delete, connections, permissions, data quality warnings, schedule_flow_run, filter), and the Flow Runs section coversflow_runs.get,get_by_id,cancel,wait_for_jobandfilter. Closing as fixed.
