Process Purpose
The "Set Focus" process is used to define the next control to execute. This allows for the workflow to skip/jump over the normal order of execution of controls on a screen.
To have this control over a control, the control must have the “Tab Stop” option checked in the "Layout" tab of its properties window. The "Set Focus" process only enables control over controls which are in the same screen as the process one.
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 "Set Focus" process.
If any subsequent edition is required, double-click the process to open its properties window and enter the necessary modifications.
Fill in the option below. The options available in the "Control Name" drop-down (A) depend on the controls displayed on the screen that includes the process.
