Adding a new node or step

Once a workflow node has been added, other steps can then be added and configured.

New steps can be added directly beneath a currently highlighted node or as the last step of a highlighted workflow node. Steps can be promoted (moved up) or demoted (moved down) in the Task Assistant window.

For more information about step configuration, see Introducing_the_Designer_tab.

5. Click to highlight the new step.
6. If necessary, click any of the step management tools on the Task Assistant window to place the step at the level you want.
7. To name the new step, right-click the new step in the Task Assistant window and choose Rename Step.

   Note:

   You can only add a new step to an existing workflow. When a workflow has not been created or loaded in the Task Assistant window, the New Step button is unavailable on the Task Assistant toolbar.

   Tip:

   You can also add a new workflow step by right-clicking on the Designer tab and choosing New Step.
