Hello,

I am migrating processes from process robot (Softomotive) to PAD. I am using several libraries in process robot. Since there are no library functions available in PAD, I am running 'Run desktop flow' action to run other desktop flows that were libraries in process robot. My main issue with this setup is that process is running much longer than it was running in process robot using libraries. Is there any way to make process faster using 'Run desktop flow' action? Or the only solution is to put 'library' (desktop flow) in form of a function as part of the process. Thanks for your suggestions.

Since desktop flows definitions are stored in dataverse, whenever you call it directly from console, or from other flow - it is being downloaded from the cloud (from my experience it does not use any cache from local storage), hence it takes longer than the same actions included in the form of subflow for example

@momlo Thank you for your answer. I guess, at the time, the best solution is using subflow instead of 'Run desktop flow' action.
