The Process Flow Editor allows you to edit the out of the box flows or create brand new.

The Create New... and Edit... options works in the same way so here we will use Edit as an Example.

Tip: It is no Mandatory to have a Target for a Process Entry. You can leave it blank and instead only define Sub Targets (see below). If you do that the Process Entry will if pressed show the Sub-Targets List (Often used on a Reporting Process Entry that should present a series of reports to choose from but none of them should be the default)
