and vice-versa.
Lastly, you can paste only the properties of the On Errortab of any task or branch on another one.
To copy and paste the On Error properties of a task or branch:
1. Copy or cut a task or branch from which you want the On Error properties.
2. Select the task or branch where you want to paste the On Error properties.
3. From the Home tab in the Ribbon, choose Paste On Error (or Right-Click and select Paste On Error from the drop-
down menu).
Moving a Task or Branch Using Drag-and-Drop
When you want to move a given task or branch, the simplest way is to use drag-and-drop. Using the mouse, you can drag and
drop tasks and branches only within a given process. To move tasks and branches between different processes, see Cutting,
Copying and Pasting Tasks and Branches.
When you move a task or branch using drag and drop, it typically moves from its original location to a position immediately pre-
ceding the target onto which you dropped it. But if you drop an input task over an unknown input task, the moved task will
replace the unknown task. The same will happen if you drag an output task over an unknown output task. Note that it is impos-
sible to drag-and-drop any task over a configured initial input or output task.
To move a task or branch using drag and drop:
1. In the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Process area, click the icon of the task or branch you want to move.
2. While holding down the mouse button, drag the icon task or branch over another task or branch.
3. Release the mouse button to drop the dragged item.
The dropped task or branch is moved above the item over which it was dropped.
To duplicate a task or branch, the same method applies but with a slight difference:
1. In the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Process area, click the icon of the task or branch you want to duplicate.
2. While holding down the mouse button, press and hold down the CTRLkey and drag the icon task or branch over
another task or branch.
3. Release the mouse button to drop the dragged item and release the CTRLkey.
The dropped task or branch is copied above the item over which it was dropped.
When you move a branch, all its tasks are also moved. When you move a conditional branch, all the tasks appearing on the
True side of the condition are also moved.
You cannot drag a task or branch over an initial input task. Any input task that is dragged and dropped over an unknown initial
input task will replace it. The same is true of an output task that is dragged and dropped over an unknown output task.
Ignoring Tasks and Branches
PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools lets you ignore individual tasks, branches or conditions.
l When a task is disabled, it is not executed when the process is run in debug mode (see "About the Debug Mode" (page
213)) or by the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tool Service.
l When a branch is disabled, the whole branch including the tasks inside that branch are ignored and not executed. In the
case of conditional branches, this means that the tasks appearing on the True side are not executed.
A task, branch or condition that was previously disabled out can be re-enabled at any time.
