Process Steps – Section

This section is used to define or edit the steps in a process. If the screen was launched in add new mode, click this section’s [Create] button to create a row to define a process step.

The following provides details about the fields in this section.

Step Name

Name for the process step, which will be used in the next section to define process flows (rules controlling navigating between process steps).

Target Type

The type of program that will be launched by the target selected via the Target Name field.  Targets can launch either a UI runtime program (Enterprise application) or a Jasper report.

The Target Name field’s LOV only lists targets of the type selected via this field.

Target Name

Click this field’s search icon (magnifying glass) to select the target that launches the desired (targeted) program for this process step.

Targets:

  • A target is a set of information that is used by one program to launch another program.

  • Targets for standard UI runtime programs and Jasper reports are available for selection via this field’s pop-up window, including user-defined targets; to launch a new program or process, a target must be created for it by using the Treeview Builder tool.

  • For details about creating targets, refer to the Screen Calls – Screen section of the TOOLS – Log Builder user guide, or to the Create New Target section of the TOOLS – Treeview Builder user guide.

Program/Report Name

This read-only field displays the name of the UI runtime program or Jasper report that is targeted by the selected target.

Display Order

Order in which the steps should be positioned in the process.

NOTE: It is suggested to number steps as 10, 20, etc., to give some room for adding more steps in the future without having to renumber the existing steps.

Step Title

Label to identify the step. If left blank, the program description will be read from the database and displayed as the label for the step; otherwise, this field’s text is used as the label.

Default Step

This is an indicator to specify which step will be loaded first when this process is run. “Y” indicates it is the first step and “N” indicates it is not the first step (only one step can be set as the default).

If all steps have this field set to “N”, the first step according to the display order will be loaded first.

Click [Save] when finished.

[Create] – Button

Click to create a new row to use to define a new process step.

[Delete] – Button

Used to delete a selected process step.
