Configuring the Execute Application command

In Task Assistant Manager, you can associate ArcMap commands with a step in the workflow. Task Assistant Manager contains prebuilt commands that may be useful during workflow creation.

The Execute Application command allows you to launch a file or application when a user executes a step in the task assistant workflow.
