l Dropping documents onto printer queues does not move the documents, but rather assigns them to these queues (see
"PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Printer Queues" (page 179)).
Add a PlanetPress Suite Process
You can create a new process in a two different ways:
l In the Ribbon, go to the Home tab and click the Process button in the Processes group.
l In the Configuration Components Pane, right-click on any process or the Processes folder and select Insert
Process.
Regardless of the method, a new process is created with a default name (Process1, Process2, etc), Input Task and Output
Task. The defaults are configurable in the "Default Configuration User Options" (page 65) screen.
The same methods can be used to create a new Startup process:
To add a PlanetPress Suite startup process:
l In the Ribbon, go to the Home tab and click the Startup Process button in the Processes group.
l In the Configuration Components Pane, right-click on any process or the Processes folder and select Insert
Startup Process.
You can only have one Startup Process in any given configuration and cannot add more.
Considerations:
l While your configuration is limited to a maximum of 512 processes, any given process can have as many tasks as nec-
essary.
l A given process may include output tasks that generate files used by input tasks from other processes.
l When you send a configuration to your PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tool service, all its active processes are applied.
l Each process’ schedule determines when its initial input task can be performed.
l Other tasks included in the process are performed regardless of schedule, granted that the previous task was per-
formed.
Activate or Deactivate a Process
All processes are Active by default, but you may make any PlanetPress Suite process Inactive as required. Because making a
process active or inactive is a change in the configuration, to make the change effective you will have to send the edited con-
figuration to your PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools service (see "Send your Configuration" (page 32)).
To activate or deactivate a process:
l Right-click the process in question in the Configuration Components Pane
l Click Active to disable or enable the process.
l Send your configuration.
If you try to send a configuration that contains only inactive processes, the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Con-
figuration program will ask you to confirm the operation (this can be changed in the Notification User Options).
