Drawing the 1. New Step

You can draw steps manually in the workspace. In the following procedure, you draw the “1. New” step.

  1. Click File > New Workflow Step. The mouse pointer changes to a cross-hair.
  2. Click and drag in the workspace to define a rectangle. When you release the mouse button, the New Step dialog box opens.
  3. Use the Step Name list to select the name of one of the workflow control property’s enumerated values as the name of this step. In this case, you select “1. New”.
  4. Click OK. A new step with the name “1. New” appears in the workspace. You can resize and align the step at any time.

Note: To draw a step for each value in the workflow control property all at once, use Edit > Create All Steps. The steps form a cascade in your workspace.

You can also copy an existing step (except for its links) by right-clicking the step to display a right-click menu and selecting Copy Step. To place the new step, right click a location in the workspace and select Paste Step from the right-click menu.
