how to run crm process on demand?

Posted on by Community Member

Hello - how can I run a CRM process on demand? Specifically, I've created a process to be used a scheduled batch job.

I want to trigger this process to execute. I would expect that there would be some process management area where I could double click on the process to run it, or right-click the process and select "run" from a context menu.

However, I'm not able to find any type of interface like this to execute the process. So does CRM provide an interface to do what I'm describing?

    Its a little bit hard to know what you are referring to, but I will guess and explain.

    A workflow is always regarding something, so when you created it you had to chose a entity. Now to be able to run the workflow you will have to create one of that entity and from there run the workflow.

    The workflow can be run "on demand" if you have configured that, or you have put in an event to fire the workflow. So there is no real "scheduled batch job" inside CRM. The workflow is always regarding the data that is in that entry that you created. There is neither a run from the workflow itself since you have to have it related to an entry of your selected entity.

    Regarding how it looks like depends on the CRM version you are on.
