There is nothing right or wrong about either way, but you just can't signal a flow to run from another flow. You have to signal a custom event and then respond to it with a rule "exiting/transitioning" from that event state that directs it to run a flow. That applies whether you signal the event from inside a view in a login flow or with a custom flow that just displays the view. That's just a UI decision.
