You can customize the appearance of the PlanetPress Workflow Tools Configuration programs to your needs. See "Cus-
tomizing the Program Window" (page 58).
Start the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration Program
This procedure explains how to start the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration program, which is different from
starting PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools service itself (see "Start and Stop the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Service"
(page 37)).
To start the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration program:
l In the Windows Start menu, choose Programs | PlanetPress Suite N | PlanetPress Watch/Of-
fice/Production N Configuration. (Where N represents the current PlanetPress Suite installation version
number.)
The PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration Program window appears and the default configuration
(ppwatch.cfg) is opened.
If this is the first time you open your PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration after installation, the PlanetPress
Suite Services configuration dialog box appears, where you enter the username and corresponding password under
which your configuration’s services run.
The PlanetPress Suite Button
The PlanetPress Suite Button replaces the File menu from previous versions, and provides access to the File menu options.
The color of the button itself can show you at a glance what flavor of the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools is currently
installed or activated:Light Orange for Watch, Yellow for Office, Dark Orange for Production.
The available menu options of the PlanetPress Suite Button are:
l New:Closes the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration that is currently opened and creates a new Plan-
etPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration, with a single example process and no printer queues. See "Create a New
Configuration" (page 31).
l Open: Displays the dialog to open an existing PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration.
l Save: Saves the current PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration under the same name. If the file is new and
has not been saved, or if the configuration is the on loaded directly from the service, the Save As dialog is displayed
instead. See "Save your Configuration" (page 32).
l Save As: Saves the current PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration under a new name. It does not overwrite
any existing configuration file, unless an existing file is selected and overwritten manually by the user.
l Import:
l Configuration Components:Displays the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration Import dialog, let-
ting you import processes and other components from other existing configurations. See "Import Processes
from Another Configuration File" (page 33).
l PlanetPress Document:Displays the dialog to import a PlanetPressDesign document to be added to the list
in the components area.
l PrintShop Mail Document:Displays the dialog to import a PrintShop Mail document to be added to the list in
the components area.
l Send Configuration: Sends the current PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration to the PlanetPress Suite
Workflow Tools service. See "Send your Configuration" (page 32).
