Working With Sequence
Sequence is the basic activity that is used to enclose a group of activities. They contain activities that execute sequentially and consistently one after the other and act as a single block activity. Sequences can be reused again as part of a state machine or flowchart.
Note:
- Copying a set of sequential activities will be easier if placed within a sequence. Select and copy a Sequence containing a set of activities and paste it, either inside a different sequence or inside a separate process.
For example,
- Sequences can take information from a .pdf file and add it to a spreadsheet, and reuse it.
- Here is an example process which takes user input and displays Message Box with user input name.
Come, let's create this process in Process Designer:
Step#1
Launch and create a new process in Process Designer
- Launch Process Designer from the Windows Start menu located under IntelliBuddies Enterprise

Click on New Process and fill in the new process details
Step#3
- In Activity panel search for Input Dialog
- Drag and drop Input Dialog activity to main panel.
Step#4
- In Activity panel search for Message Box
- Drag and drop Message Box activity to main panel.
Step#5
Set the Input Dialog and Message Box properties
Step#6
Save the process
- From the Design tab ribbon, click on Save
Step#7
Run the process
- From the Design tab ribbon, click on Run
Step#8
Make sure the process executes and pops up an input dialog. Enter the name and click on Ok. Then message box with 'Input name is ...' appears.
