Create Process

You can build a process by adding one or more members called Process Nodes. If there are Predecessor Tasks associated with any member, the tasks defined as predecessors precede the execution of that member. The Write role should be mapped to your user group, from the User Group Role Map window.

To define a process in the Process window:

1. Click the New button from the List toolbar. The Process Definition (New Mode) window is displayed.

   2. Click New from the List toolbar to create a new folder/segment. For more information, see Segment Maintenance.
   3. Search for a folder by specifying any keyword and clicking the Search button.
