When adding this task to your process, you will be asked if you want to add the task as an Action or a Condition. This
task should only be used as an Action. If used as a condition, it will always return False.
The task does not modify the job file in any way, its only output is the change in the specified variable where the result is
stored.
The expression itself must be written in a format understood by the VBSCript scripting language. For more infor-
mation, please see Mathematical Functions in VBSCript and VBSCript Math Operators.
Input
Any active data file, in any format. This data file is ignored by the task and is not modified in any way.
Processing
The task executes the mathematical operation and stores the result in the selected job info or variable.
Output
The input data file is returned with no modifications. Metadata is not modified. Asingle job info or variable is modified by this
task.
Mathematical Operations action task properties are as follows:
General Tab
l Mathematical Expression: Variable data field containing the expression to be evaluated. This expression may com-
bine any combination of standard PlanetPress Workflow variables and VBScript mathematical expressions. For exam-
ple, to multiply Job Info 9 by 2, the expression would be %9*2 .
l Store result in: Variable data field containing the job information, local or global variable in which to store the result.
For job information use %1 through %9, for local variables use %{variable} and for global variables use %{gl-
obal.variable}.
l Use value of Variable/JobInfo # expression: Use the contents of the variable entered in Store result in:, which
is assumed to be a digit between 1 and 9. This digit determines in which job info the result of the mathematical expres-
sion is store. For example, if %{myvariable} is equal to 9, job information 9 will store the result of the mathematical
operation.
This task was built using a custom plugin system and does not display the On Error tab in the regular view. To access
the On Error tab, right-click on the task and select "Advanced Properties...".
Open XSLT
The Open XSLT action task takes an XML file as input and executes the XSLT code as parameter to rearranges the content of
the XML file.
XSLT (or XSL Transformation) is a style sheet that describes how an XML document is to be transformed into another XML doc-
ument. The reason to transform an XML document into another XML document is simply to rearrange the information it con-
tains in order to make the data structure more convenient for your needs.
Input
Avalid XMLfile.
