Workflow Builder Functions 
Workflow Builder Functions
Use
You need these functions for the following activities:
Features
If not otherwise specified, you will find these entries in the context menu of a selected node.
Block operations: Cut, copy, paste, delete
The functions always refer to the complete block in which the selected node is located, including all subordinate blocks in the hierarchy. Therefore, always consider the
scope of a block. Loops and forks, in particular, can cover large sections of your workflow definition. If necessary, choose Graphic ® Blocks ® Show to see which steps are in the block.
You can only change or delete an outcome in the step definition of the preceding step. If you choose Change for an outcome, only the name is changed.
Functions for changing, creating and displaying a step
If you choose Change or Display, you branch to the step definition.
If you want to change the step type of the step, you must delete the old step and insert a new step of the desired step type. To change an undefined step into another step type, select the undefined step by double-clicking and choose the new step type.
