Example of Process Details for a Process Set

When you're submitting a process set with the Process Details dialog box, you can open the Processes tab to see what's in the process set. Here's the information you get for every process in the process set.

  • Process Name: A process in the process set.
  • Path: The step ID of the process, preceded by the step ID of the process set that the process is nested under, if any. Every process and nested process set in the process set that you're submitting is considered a step and has a unique step ID.

    Tip: If a process shows up more than once in the process set you're submitting, use the path information to differentiate between those instances.
  • Parent Process Set: The direct parent of the process, either the process set you're submitting or the process set that the process is nested under.

Scenario

Let's try to understand what we are looking at in the Processes tab. Say you're submitting a process set called Full Cleanse and Import, which contains a Clean Records process and a nested Quick Import process set. The nested process set has two processes, one of which is the same Clean Records process.

  • Clean Records process (with a step ID of CleanRec1)

  • Quick Import process set (QuickImpo1), which has two processes:

    • Import Records process (ImpoRec1)

    • Clean Records process again (CleanRec1)

This table shows what we see in the Processes tab for this example.
