These are the most common Workflow processes in Connect solutions.
l
Print process. A process that results in print output implements either the typical OL
Connect Print plugins, or the All in One plugin which combines the Print plugins; see
"Print processes with OL Connect tasks" on page186.
l
Email process. An email process outputs one or more emails; see "Email processes with
OL Connect tasks" on page184.
l
Web process. A web process serves one or more web pages. The output can vary from a
plain and simple web page to an extensive web form. See: "Web processes with OL
Connect tasks" on page188.
l
COTG processes. The process that creates a form for the Capture OnTheGo app is in
essence a web process, but a COTG solution consists of more than one process. The
typical COTG processes are described here: "Capture OnTheGo Workflow processes" on
page184.
Tip
Project Wizards
The OL Connect software comes with a number of Project Wizards that generate a
Workflow configuration, and any Connect templates, data mapping configurations, and
Print Presets required to make the project work. For more information, see "Project
Wizards" on page981 in the online help or the Project Wizards overview video on the OL
Learn website.
In each process, runtime parameters can pass variables from PlanetPress Connect Workflow
to the template, data mapping configuration or Job Creation Preset. For more information see
"Runtime parameters" on page1487.
OL Connect tasks
In Workflow there is one set of plugins developed especially for OL Connect: the OL Connect
tasks. These plugins are designed to communicate to the OL Connect Server and database,
and work with components that are only available within OL Connect: templates, data mapping
configurations, and Print Presets.
