Process Control Options

The Process Control program, also referred to as Process Options, allows you to control how you are informed of the status of certain functions or processes in Invision.  A process is a program function that runs in the background and performs operations that require only minimal interaction with the user.  With this program you can direct the system to display a notice when a function is complete or updated.  The Process Control dialog box is used to select the process and to control the status information desired.

Tips:

• All reports automatically appear in the Process Control window, but only for the amount of time it takes to generate the report.  Although short reports disappear quickly, you can use Process Control to manage or cancel very long reports.

• To add Print View reports to the Process Control window for later use, refer to Save a Report in Memory in the Advanced Functions section of the Print View help topic.
