pane directly after the previous program element.
2. Click the program element in the Explorer bar and drag it into the Workflow pane to the respective
position.
The program elements are numbered according to their sequence.
Once a program element has been inserted into the Workflow pane, settings and parameters for this
element can be entered or edited.

be flagged with an error mark and the number of the element is highlighted in red. In the
Status bar, the number of Errors appears in red. In the Info bar detailed information on the
