Failure
If a process fails for any reason, a popup window will appear and give four options:
If you press Abort, the current One Button Process will end.
•
• If you press Retry, the failed process will run a second time and if it fails again, the one button splice will
end.
• If you press Continue then the failed process will be skipped and the next process in the process list will
be executed.
• If you press reset then the reset macro will run. On completion you can choose to "abort or retry or
continue."
