Description

This session provides methods to re-assign Process to Office mappings. A Process may appear in multiple Offices and removing the last reference to a Process is the equivalent of deleting it. Each Office may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to operate on it.

Adding a reference of a Process to another Office is not a copy operation (eg: does not change its Id ).
