Running a Process

After a process has been configured, you may want to run it manually to make sure that it works properly. Once you have determined that it does, you could then schedule it to run when you actually need it to.

Let’s try running our process manually.

Steps

1.     On the Navigation Tree, click Automator. Under Standard Processes, choose Processes.

2.     On the displayed page select the January Sales process and click the Run Now icon.

3.     Automator displays a Submitted for Processing message.

When a process is launched Automator generates and executes a job (or jobs) for the process. Let's take a few moments and learn about jobs.
