Tip
Actually, the path may not begin with 'C:\Users', as this is language-
dependent. On a French system, for example, it would be 'C:\Utilisateurs'.
Type %userprofile% in a Windows File Explorer and press Enter to open the
actual current user's home directory.
There are two ways to make it easier to find the file that you need:
l The Show drop-down list lets you select the type of preset that you want to
open.
l In the Filter field, you can enter (part of) a preset name to filter the list for
matching presets.
Select one or more Print Presets to add them to the list of configurations in the
Send to Workflow dialog.
l Delete: Deletes the selected file from the list of files to send.
l Workflow Server: Use the drop-down to select where to send the files. This lists all the
detected PlanetPress Workflow installations detected on the network.
Note
If Workflow is installed on another computer, Workflow must be configured to accept
files coming from another host (via the Access Manager).
The Messenger service, which is used for inter-module communication, uses ports
5863/5864 by default (see "Firewall/Port considerations" on page26).
l Send: Sends all selected Connect files to the selected Workflow Server. You can use the
topmost checkbox to select all of the listed files at once.
l Cancel: Click this button to close the dialog without sending files to Workflow.
Select Image dialog
The Select Image dialog lets you select an image, depending on where the image is located.
Whenever possible, a preview of the selected image will be shown.
