Journey Decisioning Flows and Data Extensions

For each use case you set up in Marketing Cloud Next, several items are automatically created for you. For each journey use case, two flows and two data extensions are created. For a flow-only use case, two flows are created, but since data extensions aren’t applicable, they aren’t created.
