7.1

When you remove a branch, all the tasks located in that branch are also deleted. When you delete a task, only that task is
deleted.
You cannot use the Delete option to remove an input or output task, but you can right-click on them and click Cut
instead. This replaces the task with an unknown task(see UnknownTasks)
To delete the path below a branch crossing (instead of the path to the right of the branch):
l Press Shift+CTRL+Delete.
l From the right-click menu, choose Edit | Delete| Delete Below the Branch.
Task Properties Dialog
Any task you add to your PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools process must be configured using its properties dialog box. Each
task's Properties Dialog will give you the options to configure that specific, individual task. Properties of one task do not
directly affect the properties of another task, however there are some software preferences that may affect tasks in one way
or another (see "Preferences" (page 63))
l Each task has its own set of tabs available, though some tabs are common to most tasks.
l Most tasks have the "General"tab which lets you configure the main task properties for that specific task.
l All tasks except for the InputErrorBin, Run Script, Open XLSTand Comment tasks have an "On Error" tab that lets you
manage errors generated by the task.
l All initial Input tasks have the "Other"tab which lists job infos and lets you back up the job file.
The "On Error"tab that is common to almost all tasks contain the following options
l Send to Process: Check this option to send the job file to an error management process.
l Error Process drop-down:Enabled only when the Send to Process option is checked. Lists any process of which the
initial input task is the Input Error Bin task.
l Action Group:This group is disabled in the initial input tasks and defaults to Stop Process. In all other tasks where
the On Error tab is present, the following options are available:
l Ignore:The task is ignored as if it did not exist, and the job file is passed on to the next task in the process.
l Stop Branch:If the task is in a branch of the process, the branch is stopped and the job file is returned to the
process after the branch. The branch will not produce any output.
l Stop Process:The process is stopped and no more processing is done. No further output is produced.
l Log Message:Check this option to enable logging a custom error message in the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools'
log file.
l Message:Enabled only when the Log Message option is checked. Enter a message that will be logged in the Plan-
etPress Suite Workflow Tools' log file. You can use any variables available in PlanetPress Workflow to customize the
message.
l ID:Select the error IDyou want to attribute to the error log.
l Reset to defaults:Resets all options in this tab to their default values.
The error management system(the "on error"tab and the "error bin input"task), however, are only triggered when there is
an error within the task functionality - that is, a plugin error. These kinds of errors are triggers if the plugin cannot com-
municate with a service, another task, if the plugin crashes, etc.
Cutting, Copying and Pasting Tasks and Branches
Using cut and paste, and copy and paste, you can move as well as duplicate tasks and branches within a given process as well
as between different processes.
