About Validation
  1. From the top bar, select Me > Preferences, and then click the App Preferences tab.
  2. In the left-hand pane, select Simulation > Process Composer.
  3. Expand the General options.
  4. Select Disable a process reload dialogue after job completion to prevent the process reload message from appearing after the job completes.
  5. Select Automatically map matching parameters to create an automatic mapping between parameters that have the same name and comparable attributes (for example, structure, type) and appropriate mode relationships (for example, an output mapping to an input).

    This automatic mapping occurs only if the activities are siblings (share the same parent activity) or have a parent-child relationship. By default, this option is selected.

  6. Set the Number of significant digits displayed for real numbers.

    While Optimization Process Composer always maintains the full precision of the values, the full precision is often not meaningful when interpreting results. The presentation of the data in Optimization Process Composer can be simplified by reducing the number of significant digits to display.

  7. Select Display step names to display the name of each step in the process diagram. This option is cleared by default.
  8. Select Automatically validate process to automatically run validation on all configuration changes. By default, this option is selected.

    If you do not select this option, performance can improve, but you will only receive validation updates when you access the Validation panel. In addition, the validation symbols will not appear in the process diagram because the symbols can be out of synch based on changes.

  9. Select Automatically close search to automatically close the search panel after searching and selecting an object as a reference in an activity or process.
  10. From the Parameter Mapping View options, select one of the following.

  11. Click OK to save the options and to exit the Preferences dialog box.
