When the Process Design pane opens, the Design view displays. Processes are assembled on the Design view. Several other views can be displayed by clicking the associated tab:
Table 15. Available Views
| Tab/View | Description |
|---|---|
| Edit | Displays the Edit view where you can change process parameters. See the section called “Component Processes”. |
| Properties | Displays the Properties view where you can create and change process properties. |
| Changes | Displays the Process Changes view. This view provides a record for every process change--property add or delete, and process save or delete. |
Processes are assembled by dragging individual steps onto the design space, configuring, and then connecting them. When a step is dragged onto the design space, a pop-up displays that is used to configure the step. Once configured and the pop-up closed, you define relationships between steps by dragging connection handles between associated steps.
Graphically, each step (except for the Start step which cannot be deleted or edited) is the same and provides:
Table 16. Anatomy of a Step
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| edit tool | displays the step configuration pop-up where you can modify configuration parameters |
| delete tool | removes the step from the design space |
| resize handle | enables you to resize the step graphic |
| connection tool | used to create connections between steps |
Note
If you delete a step, its connections (if any) are also deleted.
