Submap step - general properties

A submap step represents a call to another map in the workflow definition. When the running workflow reaches a submap step, the processing continues with the steps on the called submap. When the processing of the submap is complete, control returns to the calling step for any routing conditions.

To define the general properties of a submap step

  1. If necessary, select the submap step on the map, then click the General tab in the Properties pane.
  2. On the General tab in the Properties pane, select the map that will execute when the workflow reaches this step.
  3. Enter a description of the submap for authoring reference purposes.
   

TIP Before you define the properties a submap step, you must create the submap that this step will call. See Create a submap.
