Changing the Execution Flow For a Process Step

When creating a process step, you have the option to indicate what action to take should the process step pass (On True) or fail (On False). If you have created execution flow rules, you can use these rules along with the Change Execution Flow action.

There are two actions available for each rule:

Format	Description
Exit Process	Exits out of the current process being executed and returns to the parent process that called the process.
Start at first step with next record	Stops the execution at the current step and returns the execution to the first step of the process. If the process has a recordset attached, the current recordset action is attempted, and the execution continues from the first step. If the process does not have a recordset attached, the process exits.

To handle an execution flow rule, the rule must be associated with the current process. You can create a link between one or more existing execution flow rules and the current process from the Execution Flow Rule pane. For more information, see Adding an Execution Flow Rule.
