Editing an Automation Process

Edit an Automation Process

You can edit an already existing automation processes. However, the automation processes editable just after its creation.

Perform any one of the following:
- In the tree, double-click the feature.
- Right-click the feature and select ASDAutomationProcessSheet object > Definition.
Note: A trigger logic is editable only when the automation process is a child of another process. Otherwise, the editing option is not available.
In the Automation Process Definition dialog box, click the Children tab.
From the list, select a view rule and click any one of the following:
- : To move the rule up or down.
- : To move the rule to the first or last place in the list.
Re-ordering the child processes can be useful when the logic requires strict positions of child elements.

This position change of the elements is also reflected in the tree.

In the tree, right-click a child process and select Cut or Copy.
Right-click the required parent process, under which you want to copy the child process, and select Paste.
During the copying of child elements, the trigger needs to be validated and modified by the administrator to ensure that correct inputs are provided to child element.

Notes: Although automation processes follow the same behavior during edition, the processes have different characteristics.

Drawing process automation does not have a triggering logic, as it is a parent or root process of other child processes.
Sheet process automation does have both triggering logic and children
View process automation does have triggering but no children. A view process can have view template, that supports a view update rule.
