The called process - whether a module in the same project file, or a different project file - needs to start with an [[transformations:input|Input]] action to receive the dataset sent by the //Call// action.\\ | The //Call// action's resultant dataset will either be the dataset returned from the called process (if "Return table" was selected), or the dataset passed to it in the current workflow (if "Do not return result table" was selected).\\ |
