- Index
l File name mask: Enter a file name. The condition will be tested True only in the case of an exact match, so consider
using wildcard characters.
l Invert condition result: Select to toggle the result of the condition (true becomes false and vice versa).
On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on "Task Properties Dialog" (page 51).
File Size Condition Properties
File Size conditions test the size of the job file they receive. Note that the job file may include data selections, attachments and
documents that were added by other tasks.
File Size Condition properties are as follows:
General tab
l File size is: Select whether the condition is to check if the job file is smaller (less than) or larger (more than) then the
specified value.
l Kbytes: Enter the minimum (more than) or maximum (less than) size setting in kilobytes.
l Invert condition result: Select to toggle the result of the condition (true becomes false and vice versa).
On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on "Task Properties Dialog" (page 51).
SNMP Condition Properties
SNMPis a communication protocol for helping network administrators manage devices and peripherals on their network. It is
useful for verifying the status of network printers, as you can retrieve error and other status messages that printers send out,
such as being out of paper or having low toner.
PlanetPress Workflow Tools uses the SNMPprotocol in the form of an SNMPCondition, in to ways:
l To check the status of printers on your network against values you set in a condition, and to return a true or false value.
This is called setting a Printer condition in the SNMPcondition's properties dialog box.
l To check different values of printers or other SNMPcompatible devices against conditions you set, to return a true or
false value. This is called setting a User defined condition in the SNMPcondition's properties dialog box. You indicate
what is called management information bases (MIB)and object identifiers (OID)that are extensible and can be vendor
specific.
SNMP Condition properties are as follows:
General tab
l Parameters group
l Community: Enter the community name for the printer or other SNMP compliant device you want to monitor.
Acommunity acts like a combination of a user and password granting you access to an SNMPdevice. Depending
on the community name, the device knows what rights to grant, for example, read-only or read-write. Com-
munity names serve as a form of organization and security used with SNMP. The community name must allow
sufficient access to the SNMPdevice to monitor it with the condition. Most SNMPdevices come with a public com-
munity name that usually gives you read-only and/or read-write access. It is recommended to increase security
on your network by entering community names allowing varying levels of access depending on the particular
device, its users, etc. The community name tells the device which rights to grant PlanetPress Suite Workflow
Tools (required to perform the test).
