# Streams

## Overview IO Streams

The streams menu is used to manage any IO related stream as this starts from creating a new one all to the way of exporting it. 

The side is divided into a sidebar menu and a list view. 

Within Helmut4, streams are workflows that are linked to a trigger event. These triggers are displayed under the menu item in the side menu. 

The displayed [IO-triggers](https://docs.helmut.de/helmut4-releases/v4.8.1/helmut4-components/helmutio/streams/io-event-triggers) serve as filters for displaying the associated streams in the list view.
