l Close: 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. Closing the current
configuration file is the same as creating a new one.
l Recent Documents: Displays a list of the 9 most recently opened PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configurations.
Click on any of them to open it.
l Select Language: Click to display the language selection dialog, which changes the PlanetPress Suite Workflow
Tools Configuration Program's interface language. See "Change the Interface Language" (page 34).
l Preferences: Displays the User Preferences dialog. See "Preferences" (page 63).
l Exit: Closes the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration Program. See "Exit the PlanetPress Suite Workflow
Tools Configuration Program" (page 34).
When using the New, Open, Close, Recent Documents and Exit menu options, if your current configuration file has not
been saved after modifications, a dialog will open asking if you want to save, not save, or cancel the action and return to the
current configuration.
Create a New Configuration
When you start the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration program, it always opens the default configuration file
(ppwatch.cfg). If you create a new configuration, the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration program auto-
matically creates a process that includes an unknown input and output task. You can then edit and save your new con-
figuration.
To create a new configuration, chooseNew from the PlanetPress Suite Button.
If the default configuration file (ppwatch.cfg) is currently opened, and if it includes unsaved modifications, the PlanetPress
Suite Workflow Tools Configuration program asks you whether to send the configuration to the PlanetPress Suite Workflow
Tools service before creating the new configuration. Select the Always send without prompting for confirmation
option to automatically send the edited version of the configuration.
If a file different from the default configuration file is currently opened, and if it includes unsaved modifications, the Plan-
etPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration program asks you whether to save the configuration before creating the new con-
figuration. Select the Always save without prompting for confirmation option to automatically save any unsaved
work.
Open a PlanetPress Suite Configuration File
While the PlanetPress Workflow Tool Configuration program always loads the default and current configuration
(ppwatch.cfg), you may sometimes need to open a Workflow Tool configuration file ([file name].pw7) that is not the cur-
rent one, for example to load a previous backup or a configuration file saved from another computer. This procedure will show
you how.
1. From the PlanetPress Suite Button, chooseOpen.
The Open dialog box appears.
2. Navigate to the configuration file you want to open, select it and click Open.
If the default configuration file (ppwatch.cfg) is currently opened, and if it includes unsaved modifications, the PlanetPress
Suite Workflow Tools Configuration program asks you whether to send the configuration to the PlanetPress Suite Workflow
Tools service before opening the selected configuration. Select the Always send without prompting for confirmation
option to automatically send the edited version of the configuration before opening any other configuration (see "Saving and
Sending a Configuration" (page 32)).
You can also open a configuration file from a previous version of PlanetPress Workflow Tool by changing the File
