| Note: When you add items to the Processing Sequence in this way, LANSA Composer will attempt to guess the most appropriate level for the item and assign its parent accordingly. The result is that the item will be indented to that level. In many cases, LANSA Composer's guess will be correct and you will not need to re-arrange the item. If it is not correct, however, you should use the features described in Re-arrange Items in the Processing Sequence to arrange the item in the correct order and at the correct level. |

Re-arrange Items in the Processing SequenceYou can re-arrange items by moving them up or down the Processing Sequence or by promoting or demoting them:

Move Items Up or DownMoving items up or down in the Processing Sequence changes the order of items in the Processing Sequence and, therefore, the order in which they will be executed when the Processing Sequence is run.
...
| Note |

| Note: As you move items up or down the Processing Sequence, it will often be necessary for LANSA Composer to change the item's parent. This will result in the indentation level of the item changing as it moves. |

Promote or Demote ItemsPromoting or demoting items changes their parent item – that is, the item to which they belong and upon which their execution is dependent. The visible effect of this is to change their indentation level.
...
| Note |
|---|
| Note: Sometimes, as you promote or demote items, they will move up or down as well. This can occur, for example, when you promote or demote an item that is in the middle of a group of items at the same level. LANSA Composer will need to move the item in order to preserve the levels or relationships of other items in the group. |
