Define the Run Duration for a Process

You can define the expected run duration for a process. If the process run time exceeds the defined duration, the Operations tab displays a red (warning) indicator.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Library tab.
2. Select a folder and then select a process object for which to define the run duration.

   Note: If the appropriate process object does not exist, create it. For more information about creating a process, see Designing Processes.

3. Right-click the process object and then select Properties.
4. On the Properties pane, click the Duration tab.

   Note: See the tooltips or the User Interface Reference for field descriptions and examples.

5. Select the Enabled check box.

   The product enables the Duration tab fields.

6. Set the expected process duration.
7. Set how long before the process run exceeds the expected duration that the product warns the user.
8. Click Save.

The Duration Status displays one of the following status indicators for the associated runtime process instance:

• Red: The process run has exceeded the expected duration.
• Yellow: The process is running but is nearing end of the expected duration.
• Green: The process ran during the expected duration. The status is green while a process is completed and while a process is running and not in yellow or red status.
• No indicator: The process has no expected duration set.
