Using the Start View
This view is for entering and viewing the details for a Start step. A Start step can contain many decision branches. Each branch is based on multiple conditions.
The tasks you can perform in this view are:
- Define a start step. See Defining a Start Step.
- Delete an existing start step. See Deleting a Step or Process.
- Copy a start step. See Copying a Process.
- Define next step branches. See Defining Decision Branches.
- Define branch conditions and values. See Defining Conditions and Values.
