Process Step
The Process step calls a previously saved process and executes it within the current process.
To add a Process step:
1. Drag and drop a 
Process step from the Palette to the canvas.
Process step from the Palette to the canvas.2. Double-click the step on the canvas to open the Step Properties tab.
3. Type a unique name for the step.
4. Specify the step properties.

Process Step Properties
Name | Description |
|---|---|
Name | Unique name for the step. You can use alphabets, numbers, and special characters such as -, _. . , and #. |
Description | (Optional) Description for the step. |
Enabled | Select this option to enable the step for execution. If it is not enabled, then the step on the canvas is greyed-out. This option is useful when troubleshooting a process, especially when there are numerous steps in the process. |
Error Handling | Select either of the following: • Stop Process - (Default) All the steps after the current step are skipped or the entire process is stopped (depending on how you have the error logging options set) if this step stops due to an error. • Ignore Error - The remaining steps in this process are executed even if this step stops due to an error. This is useful when you want to write a Decision step that can test for the error state of a previous step. Note: The Break after first error Logging Option on the Configuration tab overrides the Ignore Error option in the step level, hence when you set the Ignore Error option at step level, you should uncheck (disable) the Break after first error Logging option for the Ignore Error to be effective. |
Choose a process | Process to execute at this step. |
Participate in parent process transaction | When selected, the sub-process is transactional. This means that if the parent process fails, the sub-process is rolled back. If the sub-process is not transactional, then even if the parent process fails at some point after the sub-process step, the sub-process still commits. |
Caution! When using any function that declares a private variable within a process, if you call that function from a Process step, the function fails since it is not able to access the private variable.
