  - Task Step (Subprocess) Configuration
    A subprocess is part of a user-defined process in a workflow.
    - Properties for Subprocesses
      You can use properties to further define the resource you are configuring.
    - Scope Definitions
      The scope of a property, as well as the location of the activity that it is defined on in a workflow, determines if it can be referenced or accessed by a workflow bind.
    - Limits for Subprocesses
      There are restrictions to the elements that comprise a workflow. These limits ensure a quality functioning workflow.
    - Subprocess Configuration Panel-Within the Subprocess
      When you are inside a subprocess, you can configure attributes that are specific to the subprocess. You can access the internal subprocess from the Workflows folder, or from the Subprocesses folder, in the Workflow model.
    - Enable Property
      Enabled is a read/write property that can be read from and written to at run time.
    - Manual Start Property
      When the Manual Start property is set to True, the subprocess requires operator interaction to begin execution.
    - Visible Property
      When the Visible property is set, the corresponding task step will appear in the Task List during run time.
    - Subprocess Group Property
      You can use the Subprocess Group property treat similar subprocesses as a group.
    - Task Step Assignments
      Task steps assignments include routing the task steps of a subprocess (or portions of a workflow) to a location or personnel resource depending on the requirement of the workflow.
    - Acquire Task Steps
      You can set task steps to be automatically acquired by another person or machine during the execution of a workflow.
    - Enable and disable a subprocess
    - Task Step Configuration
      Under the Task Step Details tab in the Subprocess Configuration Panel, you can input or attach more information related to a workflow that helps a user perform task steps in the Task List and/or Task Management.
    - Task Step Name
      Task Step Name is a general read property that is available at the subprocess level.
      - Add a task step name to a subprocess
    - Set a subprocess task step to expire
      You can set an expiration date and/or time for subprocess task steps when a workflow is running.
    - Add and configure subprocess linked documents
    - Remove a subprocess linked document
    - Add a resource to the workflow model
      To configure resources and to develop a workflow, you must first add resources to the workflow model.
    - Add a registry patch
    - Highlight Color
      Highlight Color is a general writable property that you can use to emphasize a task or task step during run time. When viewing these tasks during run time, you will observe a bar of color on the task that you set a color against.
    - Configuring Electronic Signatures
      To include a signature with a task/task step action or a form, add personnel with the authority to sign and verify forms. By default, all signatures are configured at the workflow level.
    - Automatic Task Step Selection
      Auto Select is a read property that is available at the subprocess level. You can set a task step to be selected automatically in the Task List during run time by configuring client methods or workflow activities with the Auto Select feature.
    - Interface Layout Options for the Task List
      Task Step Views allows you to preconfigure the interface visible to operators when a Task List is running.

Task Step Name

Task Step Name is a general read property that is available at the subprocess level.

Tip: With these properties, you can build an expression or perform a bind.

Property	Value	Description
Task Step Name	User-defined; Subprocess level	Specifies a unique name to distinguish it from the subprocess name. No two subprocesses in one workflow should have the exact same name. Tip: This property can be used in a Write Activity.
