Defining Run Process actions to run processes, programs, or commands

Use the Run Process action in:

  • Active links
  • Filters
  • Escalations

Use the Run Process action to run an independent process on a client computer or an AR System server. The system executes the command specified in the Command Line field. You can run an AR System application command or workflow process command, or specify an external program to carry out actions such as sending a fax or making a log entry in a specific format.

The Run Process action only executes an independent process; it does not return a value. To insert the result of a process into a field, use the Set Fields action with the $PROCESS$ keyword to set a field by using the value returned from a process (see Using-buttons-and-menu-bar-items-to-execute-active-links).
