General information about the process. You can specify the values of non-editable fields in the process properties using the Process Designer.
| Title | Process name displayed in the [Run process] menu and used in the command line when running processes. This is a non-editable field. |
| Opportunity name | Unique identifier of the process in the system. This is a non-editable field. |
| Active | This checkbox identifies process status. Only active processes can be executed in the system. This is a non-editable field. Use the [Activate] and [Deactivate] buttons to manage the business process availability. If the deactivated business process is used as a sub-process in other processes, the [Active] checkbox value will be ignored. |
| Package | Package name where the process is saved. This is a non-editable field. |
| Version | Number of the current business process version. This is a non-editable field. |
| Trace enabled | Select this checkbox to trace parameter values during the process execution. The trace data is available on the [Process elements] detail in the [Process log] section. |

| Created on | Date when the process version was saved. |
| Package | The package where the process version was saved. |
| Version | The process version number. |
| Actual version | Indicates if the process version is the one currently used. All new instances of this business process will be run using the actual version. To set a process version as actual, select it in the list and click [Set as actual version] in the |
button menu.Note
Only one of versions of the same process can be set as actual. Any version can be used as a sub-process, though.
NOTE
Bpm’online saves the actual version of the process directly to the package. If you save the package as an archive, and install the package in a different environment, the most actual version of the process will be transferred with the package. Bpm’online will always determine the final current version of the process based on which package is higher in the hierarchy.
The tab contains information about all options for launching the business process, both manual and automatic. All information on this tab is added automatically and is unavailable for editing.
