Selecting this option automatically creates a new subprocess, takes the branch and all of its children tasks
and inserts it in the new subprocess, including the branch task itself. In the main process, the branch is
removed and replaced with a GoSub action task referring to the newly created subprocess.
Note
The Branch tasks options Backup job file, Backup job information and Backup emulation, are also automatically
passed to the subprocess, which means that, if the subprocess needs to use a different emulation than the calling
process, a Change Emulation task is required.
If any task converted into a subprocess was previously using local variables, these variables must be
removed or transferred to global variables or job information to be usable in the newly created subprocess.
Update Printer Information
To have update the printer information of a process or subprocess:
1. Right-Click on the Process in the Configuration Components Area.
2. Select Update Printer Information.
Manipulate Global Variables
Note
For information about Local Variables see Local Variables.
Global Variables are set at the level of the configuration file and are shared between all processes and
tasks. Global variables can be used anywhere that accepts variables by using it's name preceded by
"global."and surrounded by curly brackets (for example:%{global.myGlobalVariable}).
Global variables are generally used to keep information that applies to multiple locations but need to be
changed easily. For example, a lot of uses use them to set a server's IP, a printer name, or folder location
that is used by multiple processes. This is useful when moving the configuration file to another installation of
the Workflow Tools where this information is different, or to quickly modify specific information if something
changes on the server. You can have as many global variable as you want in any given configuration.
