To duplicate a task or branch, the same method applies but with a slight difference:
1.
In PReS Workflow Process area, click the icon of the task or branch you want to
duplicate.
2.
While holding down the mouse button, press and hold down the CTRLkey and drag the
icon task or branch over another task or branch.
3.
Release the mouse button to drop the dragged item and release the CTRLkey. The
dropped task or branch is copied above the item over which it was dropped.
When you move a branch, all its tasks are also moved. When you move a conditional branch,
all the tasks appearing on the True side of the condition are also moved.
Note
You cannot drag a task or branch over an initial input task. Any input task that is dragged and
dropped over an unknown initial input task will replace it. The same is true of an output task that is
dragged and dropped over an unknown output task.
Ignoring Tasks and Branches
PReS Workflow lets you ignore individual tasks, branches or conditions.
l When a task is disabled, it is not executed when the process is run in debug mode (see
About the Debug Mode) or by PReS Workflow Service.
l When a branch is disabled, the whole branch including the tasks inside that branch are
ignored and not executed. In the case of conditional branches, this means that the tasks
appearing on the True side are not executed.
A task, branch or condition that was previously disabled out can be re-enabled at any time.
To disable or enable a task or branch:
1.
In the PReS Workflow Process area, click the icon of a task or branch.
2.
From the Debug tab in the Ribbon, click Ignore. If the task or branch was enabled, it is
now disabled, and vice versa.
