Configuring Pools
You can configure a pool's label, description, orientation, and type in the Properties view.
You can set the default pool orientation in Window > Preferences > Software AG > Process Development > Appearance, and the default pool label color in Window > Preferences > Software AG > Process Development > Appearance > Colors And Fonts. You can right-click a pool and then click Choose Pool Label Color to change its pool label color.
To configure the properties of a pool
1. Select the title bar area of the pool.
2. On the General page in the Properties view, enter or edit descriptive information about the pool:
Property Name | Description |
External | Select the check box to designate the pool as external. A process can have one internal pool and unlimited external pools. |
Label | Name of the pool. Default is Pool1. |
Description | Description of the pool, for documentation purposes. Text in pool descriptions is searchable. |
Orientation | Select Horizontal or Vertical from the list. The default is set in Window > Preferences > Software AG > Process Development > Appearance. |
Note: A process can have only one internal pool. If you change the type of a pool from External to Internal, the default internal pool (the process editor's canvas) will become an external pool. Only steps in internal pools are generated and executed.
