SAS EG8 - how to change the Process Flow that automatically opens first?

dsmall2112 — Thu, 08 Oct 2020 14:06:25 GMT

I have an EG 8 Project with multiple Process Flows.

Anyway, I can't seem to alter which one automatically loads/selects on opening the project. I've tried renaming, dragging it to the bottom, however it still loads first. I tried right-clicking on the Process Flow but didn't see any obvious options to change. The one I'm loading is probably the first one created in the project (which may be why it is automatically selected).

In general "Options >> Project and Process Flows" there is an option selected "Automatically open a Process Flow when opening a project". I do like having this option, however I don't seem to be able to select which flow will be open in a given project.

I could try duplicating the default flow and deleting the old one -- but thought I would seek assistance first!

I never managed to completely understand or master the EGP concept of Process Flow. I also failed on your example, thus I switched to using "ordered lists". But beware both concepts "process flow" and "ordered lists" seem to be unfished.

In EG 7, this option will start a process flow called "Autoexec" if such exists in the project. I would expect that EG 8 behaves the same.
