Hi Mrunalini,

Manual Intervention step can be used in a workflow to enable manual intervention for users to complete some  
tasks or provide input values for a new field or existing field. A pop-up is displayed (always on  
top) and the workflow pauses until the 'OK‘ or 'Cancel‘ button is pressed.

Runtime parameters are used to provide values/files for input in the begining of execution of the Process.
