How to Change the Main Process Label

Updated by Sean Ellner

Mains vs. Sub-Processes

Upon import, Blueprint will attempt to label all processes as either a Main process or a Sub-Process.

  • A Main is defined differently based on the type of RPA file imported. Main processes are the starting point for an automation.
  • A Sub-Process is any process that is called by a Main.
Mains in UiPath
The Main is defined in project.json file.
Mains in Blue Prism
The Main is the Main Page of an imported Blue Prism process.

Change Main/Sub-Process In Process Editor

In the Process Editor, users can switch processes between being labeled as either a Main or a Sub-Process by flipping the toggle at the top left.

Change Main/Sub-Process In Descendants View

Users can also edit Main or Sub-Process labels in bulk from the Descendants View. To do so, simply select the checkbox next to the processes you want to modify, click the actions dropdown, and choose either "Convert to Main" or "Convert to Sub-Process".
