Examples

Example E-MAIL: 

Situation

We would like to send an E-Mail with a report created in TIS but it is bigger than allowed to be attached. We can start a process compressing this report which enables this for us. 

Settings

Process: contains the path and the name of the program we would like to execute. This has to be in text format.

Execute: TIS checks if the process should be run. This has to be a boolean (Yes/No) value.

Runtime: This specifies after how long TIS terminates the process if it has not finished already. This has to be a number format and means seconds.

Result

In the fifth column called Result, TIS generates a success message. If we get OK the process ran without errors. In case something went wrong an error message will occur.
