To create a new communication channel, navigate within the communication area to the submenu Channels and select Create in the context menu or with the Create button. A list of available channels is then displayed. Select the desired type by clicking on it. A new dialog opens with setting options for the corresponding channel.

Note: Due to structure, all channels ¹⁾ share the same standard parameters in the tab Properties. For send channels the Message box and Message direction settings are obsolete and will have no effect. The reason for it is the job step ChannelSender²⁾ which acquires the messages from the previous job in the process and therefore the chosen Message box and Direction is irrelevant. However, since these two parameters are required from the GUI, something has to be specified here until further notice.
