The Configuration Components Pane
The Configuration Components Pane displays processes, subprocesses, variables, documents and printer queues. It also lets
you add any of these components using the right-click menu.

that offers these choices:
l Insert Process:Inserts a new process with a default input and output task.

no existing startup process in your configuration.

l Cut, Copy, Paste:Controls the clipboard.
l Delete: Deletes the process from the configuration.
l Rename: Renames the process.
l Active: Triggers whether the process is active (runs in service mode)or inactive (does not run in service
mode). Inactive processes never trigger their input task or any other tasks.

available if there is no existing startup process in your configuration.
l Group, Ungroup: Triggers grouping functionality.
l Properties...: Displays the process' properties, for scheduling and error handling.
