Setting Chain Definition and Chain Definition Properties
On the definition tab of process definitions and chains you can specify standard object properties like Name and Application as well as scheduling properties like Default Queue and Priority.
Naming and Location
Every process definition requires a unique name and should be part of an application. Applications are there to store your process definitions in containers along with other objects, that belong together. This allows you to migrate your processes or back them up easily with the Import/Export module.
