Workflow Builder

Adding or editing an external process 

External processes must be added and configured before they 

can be used in a workflow. Initial configuration involves: 

•

Selecting a process icon

•

Assigning a process name

Final configuration involves:

•

Setting up input, output, and error hot folders for folder-based 

profiles

•

Setting up a script location, parameters, a working directory, 

and output location for CLI profiles 

•

Defining the timeout interval for each profile

For folder-based profiles, the third party software must be running 

for you to use the external process in a workflow.

To add or edit an external process

1. In Workflow Builder, select [Options: External Processes]. 

2. In the External Processes dialog, select [New Process...]. 

This option is available only if four or fewer processes are 

configured. 

3. In the External Process Setup dialog, select an icon from the 

Process icon drop box.

NOTE: External Processes are designated by a plus symbol 

overlay.

4. In the Process name text box, enter a name for the process.

NOTE 1: The name must be no longer than 14 characters,

and it 

must be a unique name. 

NOTE 2: If incorrect file characters (for example, \ / : * ? ) are 

entered, an error message displays.
