Start Process plugin properties

The Start Process plugin allows you to launch a process during the execution of a workflow. The process can be configured with a delay, enabling you to schedule the routing of a document every specified number of days. This plugin is most commonly used for workflows in DocEx sites.

NOTE:

  • The workflow that will be launched with the Start Process plugin must accommodate the automated start of the process.
  • This plugin will not check out a document and route it. Only the latest revision of the document will be routed.
