Use these settings when adding an activity to the Process Designer, when editing an existing one, or (less commonly) when registering an activity in XBOUND:

Path to DLL

The DLL file that contains the activity.

Name (read only)

The name of the activity. This cannot be modified.

Version (read only)

The version of the activity. This cannot be modified.

Class name

The class name of the activity, if the DLL contains several activities.

Max. duration of thread

When the activity uses a third-party component that must be regularly relaunched, for example because of a memory leak, the worker process is relaunched after this time.

Interactive component

If selected, this activity can be used by interactive (manual) components such as Document Verifier. Used by the Report Manager.

Runtime behavior

  • Automatically: The instance is restarted for each batch or root document.

    When adding the RCC activities Classification, Interpretation, or Knowledge Processing, we recommend selecting Automatically as the Runtime behavior.

  • Keep Instance: The instance is maintained. (Some third-party components cannot tolerate being relaunched within the same process.)

  • Keep Instance per Process Step: A separate instance is created and maintained for each process step.

Reporting category

The default reporting category of the activity. This applies automatically to all process steps based on this activity in your XBOUND system, even if those steps already exist when you configure this setting.

This affects the reports provided by the Reports plug-in, as well as the Number of Documents per Reporting Category report. However, it can be overridden (see Configuring a reporting category).
