The proc_index table holds information that is specific to a procedure (or sub-procedure or sub-procedure parameter template).

Note 

Data that can change between versions or instances of a procedure is not held in this table. See the proc_version and proc_instance tables instead.

Column

Description

node_id

ID of the node that this procedure is defined on, as defined in the nodes table.

proc_id

Unique ID of this procedure, generated from the sequences table.

proc_used_count

Not used.

proc_name

Name of this procedure.

Note: Internal procedures are prefixed with a dollar sign ($) character.

proc_desc

Description of this procedure.

proc_owner

Name of the owner of this procedure, as defined in the user_names table.

dir_name

Not used.

proc_used

Flag that defines whether this record is currently free (0) or being used (1).

work_days

Flag that defines whether the procedure uses a 7-day week (0) or a configurable working week (1) in date calculations.

auto_purge

Flag that defines whether (1) or not (0) cases of this procedure are automatically purged when they are closed.

networked

Reserved for possible future use.

Flag that defines whether a case description is Required (0), Optional (1) or Hidden (2) when a case of this procedure is started.

ignore_blanks

Flag that defines whether or not a blank field is treated as an error when used as an addressee for a step of this procedure:

• 0 means that the field is treated as an error and the step is delivered to the undelivered queue.
• 1 means that the field is not treated as an error.

is_predict

Flag that defines whether (1) or not (0) case prediction is enabled for this procedure.

normalise_data

• 1 means that the auto-purge operation is delayed.

delay_value

The value of the delay_value column is:

• If the value of the delay_purge column is 0, then the value of the delay_value column is NULL.
• If the value of the delay_purge column is 1, then the value of the delay_value column is specified in one of the following ways:
— The period of the delay in days.
— Delayed date and time expressions:
