How to Work with Processes > Working with the Branch Processes Group > Working with Go to (End of Action/Routine) Process

Process Purpose

The "Go to" process is used to redirect the application to pre-established destinations after the execution of an action, another process or as a result of previously specified criteria.

Since it is one of the most used processes, there are, usually, quick links at your disposal throughout the project.

MCL-Designer V4 provides you with a "Go to" with a specific destination - the "Go to End of Action/Routine" process - which is always used after having called a routine/procedure/action (event) with a "Go to" process.

This process is used to redirect the workflow to the end of that routine/procedure/action. This means the workflow will continue in the process that called it.

When you add a process, you are required to define its settings. This occurs in the process's properties window which is displayed automatically after having added the "Go to" process.

If any subsequent edition is required, double-click the process to open its properties window and enter the necessary modifications.

Select a destination from the options available in the drop-down OR click and select one from that list. See Detail of a window below. When defining a screen as a target destination (ex: via a “Go To” process), you CANNOT use variables to specify the name of that target screen. You must select the intended screen from the available drop-down/list.	There is a default destination depending on the context ("<End of Action>", "<End of Routine>", "<End of Procedure>") but you can select another destination from the drop-down. As an alternative, click and select a destination from that list. See Detail of a window below.

Detail of a window:

"S:Menu" is a screen included in the same program as the process.

"R:Routine_1" is a routine included in the same program as the process.

If required, use the icon (on the upper right corner of the properties window) to attach any relevant notes to this process.

Click it and enter your notes in the resulting text box. These notes will be displayed in the corresponding "Actions" tab or "Process" window (in the "Notes" field) and in the "Developer Report".

After filling in the required options, click to conclude or to abort the operation.

The added process is displayed in the corresponding "Actions" tab or "Process" window.

If you want to use a label as a target destination, you can use the "Auto-Label" mechanism. This alternative to the "Set Label" process allows you to create a label in the properties window of a process - specifically, in the fields used to define target destinations (ex: the "If Error..." type fields). See To Automatically Create a Label.

Use the right-click in MCL-Designer's input boxes to access some related options as well as the general "Cut", "Copy"; "Paste"; "Search" actions (active/inactive according to the current context).

Ex: If you right-click the "Variable" input box (included in a "Conversion's" properties window), you are provided with general editing/search actions and other more specific options such as "Variable Select" (see "Variable Select"); "Variable Insert" (see "Variable Insert"); "Insert Special Character" (see To Insert Special Characters into a Control's Text Input Field) and "Localization Select" (see Localization List).

If you right-click another input box, it may provide other possibilities.
