To learn more about debugging a process, refer to "Debugging and Error Handling" on

The Object Inspector Pane
The Object Inspector displays the properties of the object selected in the Configuration
Components pane (not the Process Area, however). You can edit some of these properties
directly from the Object Inspector, simply by clicking on the property.
To edit properties of processes, documents, and printers in the Object Inspector:
l
In the Configuration Components pane, select a process, a document (either a
document in the Documents category or a document assigned to a printer queue) or a
printer queue. The selected object’s properties appear in the Object Inspector.
l In the Object Inspector, click an editable property.
l Depending on the values that can be entered for the selected property, edit the value by
typing a one or by selecting a new one from the drop-down list.
