Set Visible to False

Recommendation (LOW)

Set Visible to False for a subprocess if it does not need to appear as a task step in the Task List display.

Some workflows contain subprocesses that do not have any user interaction. These subprocesses do not contain any Form or Status Message activities, and they have set the Manual Start property to False. Because no interaction is required, you can hide the subprocess from the Task List display by setting the Visible property to False. Setting this property improves the subprocess' execution performance and reduces the network traffic between the workflow server and the clients.
