Comments Tab
The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a single text area (Task comments)that lets you
write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with the OKbutton,
and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Go Sub
The GoSub action task transfers the execution of the calling process to the specified subprocess. When a
process encounters a GoSub action, it halts its own execution, start the subprocess and waits for it to
complete before resuming its workflow with the next task.
Every subprocess starts with a BeginSub input task and ends with a EndSub output task, both of which
have nothing to configure and cannot be replaced or deleted. The simply represents entry and exit points for
the subprocess.
Note
While it is possible to place a GoSub action within a subprocess, doing so will hide the subprocess
from any GoSub action, in order to avoid circular referencing (aka an infinite loop).
General tab
l
Subprocess: Drop down list containing all the available subprocesses in the current configuration.
l
Backup job file: Select if you want to use identical copies of the job file for the main process and the
subprocess.
l
Backup job information: Select if you want to use identical copies of the job file information for the
main process and subprocess. Once the subprocess completes its execution, the main process will
retrieve the original job information values.
l
Backup emulation: Select if you want to use the emulation selected when the job file reaches the
subprocess for the main process as well. Note that the emulation is not passed from a main process to
a subprocess or vice versa.
l
Retrieve subprocess error: Select if you want to receive error(s) from the subprocess in order to
handle them on its own.
