Make a local subprocess global

If you are using a subprocess in a workflow that you would like to use again in another workflow, you can add it to the Global Subprocesses list.

Before you begin

Note: A subprocess must be self-contained for it to work as a global subprocess; therefore, you must remove any reference to external data.
A resource must already have been added in order to select it from this list. For more information, see Add a resource to the workflow model.

Procedure

  1. In the navigator, click Workflow.
  2. In the Folders list, select a resource type, such as Workflows, Subprocesses, Schedules, User Activities, Categories, Completion Codes, Faults, or Filters.
  3. In the resource type list, select a resource.
  4. In the Displays panel, click Workflow Management > Workflow Editor.
  5. Click the Workflow Editor tab.
  6. In the workflow, select the local subprocess you want to make global.
  7. In the subprocess configuration panel, click Make Global.
    The Make Subprocess Global dialog box appears.
  8. Enter a name and, optionally, a description for the subprocess, and then click Make Global.
    Note: The new subprocess is added to the Global Subprocesses list and the Subprocesses resource list.
  9. Click Save.
