Modifying workflows
Select the workflow you want to modify in the Workflow drop-down list 
and click the Workflow Assistant button in the standard toolbar. Or 
choose Workflows... in the Tools menu, select the desired workflow and 
click Modify... . The first panel of the Workflow Assistant appears with 
the workflow loaded. Click the icon in the workflow diagram that 
represents the step you want to modify. Click Next to move to the 
settings panel relating to that step. Make the desired changes. 
When you add or replace a step, all following steps are deleted. To add a 
step, select the step in the workflow diagram below the place you want to 
insert the new step. Click the icon of the new step. To replace a step, 
select its icon in the workflow diagram and click the replacement step 
icon. Then recreate the subsequent steps and settings.
When all changes are made, move to the Finish Workflow step and click 
Next. The workflow name is already defined. Specify other settings as 
desired and click Finish. 
You can create a new workflow by modifying an existing one. Click New 
Workflow... in the Workflow drop-down list, and choose the existing 
workflow as the starting point, as described in the previous section.
Batch Manager 
The Batch Manager is a separate but integrated program to let you 
schedule jobs to be processed at some time in the future. By choosing 
steps carefully, you can set up jobs that can run unattended. A job is 
essentially a workflow with added timing instructions, specifying when 
the job should run. Jobs are created in the Workflow Assistant.
Open the Batch Manager from the Process Menu or from your system, 
by choosing Start!All Programs!ScanSoft OmniPage Pro 14.0! 
OmniPage Batch Manager or from the workflow icon on the taskbar.
When you start Batch Manager for the first time it contains no jobs, so 
the Workflow Assistant appears inviting you to set up the first job.
