Set up a process configuration via the Designer navigation menu under Process settings | Process configurations. When you choose the appropriate menu item, you will see an overview of all previously defined process configurations.
Process configuration overview
You'll see the name of the corresponding process preference under Configuration. The Description contains more information about the configuration. Value displays the assigned value. Global is checked if it is a global configuration. As mentioned earlier, you can freely use a global configuration, but you cannot change it. You set up these JobRouter global preferences under Preferences | Configuration | Admin Tools (see the JobRouter Administration Manual).
Click New in the action bar to establish a new process configuration, or click an existing configuration to be able to modify it.
Please note: You cannot change the name of the configuration after setting it up.
In both cases, you will see the Edit configuration form window.
