Print Content and Email Content in PlanetPress Workflow
In PlanetPress Workflow’s Print Content and Email Content tasks, the option to Update
Records from Metadata will only work for fields whose data type is set to String in the data
model. Fields of other types will not be updated in the database and no error will be raised.
This will be fixed in a later release.
Print Limitations when the Output Server is located on a different machine
The following limitation may occur when using the Print options from a Designer located on a
different machine to the Output Server:
l The file path for the prompt and directory output modes is evaluated on both the client
AND server side. When printing to a network share it must be available to BOTH the
Designer and Server for the job to terminate successfully.
l The Windows printer must be installed on both the Server and Designer machines.
l When printing via the Server from a remote Designer, the output file remains on the
Server machine. This is remedied by selecting “Output Local” in the Output Creation
configuration.
VIPP Output
Some templates set up with landscape orientation are being produced as portrait in VIPP. It can
also sometimes be the case that text and images can be slightly displaced. These are known
issues and will be addressed in a later release of Connect.
