Adding or editing an external process

External processes must be added and configured before they can be used in a workflow. Initial configuration involves:

•Selecting a process icon

•Assigning a process name Final configuration involves:

•Setting up input, output, and error hot folders for folder-based profiles

•Setting up a script location, parameters, a working directory, and output location for CLI profiles

•Defining the timeout interval for each profile

For folder-based profiles, the third party software must be running for you to use the external process in a workflow.
