Managing external processes

The External Processes dialog allows you to move or delete processes and provides access to the external process configuration dialogs. It includes the following options:

Move Left: Moves a selected process one space to the left.

Move Right: Moves a selected process one space to the right.

NOTE: Moving a process also changes the order in Workflow Builder.

New Process…: Opens the External Process Setup dialog which allows you to add a new external process; available if four or fewer processes are configured. If there are already five external processes when [New Process...] is selected, the Maximum Allowed error dialog displays.

Edit…: Opens the External Process Setup dialog for the selected process. Allows you to edit an external process or to add additional profiles to an external process.

Delete: Deletes a selected process and all its settings.
