Adding Branches
The PReS Workflow Configuration program offers two different commands when it comes to
adding new branches to a process:
You can add a new branch, by dragging and dropping a branch, from the Process Logic
category of the Plug-in Bar, into your process. Branches can be added using the Adding Tasks
method.
You can add a new branch that contains all of the tasks below the point where you insert the
branch. To do this, right-click on the first task that you want to include in the branch, and select
Branch From Here.... An unknown task will be created as an output below the branch.
Edit a Task
To edit a task, you simply need to access and change its properties. You may even do it while
your process is in Debug mode (See About the Debug Mode).
To edit a task:
1.
In the PReS Workflow Process area, double-click the Task icon. A dialog box
containing the available task properties is displayed.
2. Edit the task properties as required. Click specific tabs to see all the properties associated
with the task.
3.
Click OK to close the dialog box and save the new properties.
Replacing Tasks, Conditions or Branches
You can replace existing tasks either by dropping a new task on it, or by pasting another task
over it.
To replace an existing task with a new task, see Adding Tasks.
To replace an existing task with another existing task or its properties, see Cutting, Copying
and Pasting Tasks and Branches.
