- Sending and Running a Configuration
The Import Configuration dialog appears displaying all the processes and/or process groups, as well as the
Subprocesses, Global Variables, PlanetPress Design documents and Printer Queues in the selected
configuration file.
4. In the list, select the components you want to import.
The PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration program lets you open and import any of the following:
• Complete PlanetPress Watch 3 configurations.
• Complete PlanetPress Watch 4 to 6 configurations, including PlanetPress Server 6 configurations.
• Specific processes from PlanetPress Watch/Server 6 configurations, including their local variables.
• Specific subprocesses from any PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools configurations.
• Specific global variables from PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools configurations.
• Specific PlanetPress or PrintShop Mail documents.
• Specific Printer Queues.
Note: PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration imports the selected objects and automatically replaces
duplicate names. Note that if the initial configuration and the imported configuration both include a startup
process, the one included in the imported process will become a standard process.

3.2.10 Save a Configuration
Files created and edited using the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration program can be saved as
PlanetPress Suite configuration files ([file name].pwX) or as the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools default
configuration file (ppwatch.cfg). Bear in mind that the default configuration is the only one that the
PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools service can run. So if you actually want to run a different configuration, you
must save it under the default configuration file name. Since this overwrites the original default configuration
file, you may consider making a backup copy.
To save the current configuration:
• From the PlanetPress Watch/Office/Production Button, choose Save.
Changes to the current configuration are saved. If the current configuration is the default configuration
(ppwatch.cfg), it is saved as a copy of this configuration (ppwatch.pwX). The actual configuration
applied by the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools service is not affected.
To save the current configuration under a new name:
1. From the PlanetPress Watch/Office/Production Button, choose Save As.
The Save as dialog box is displayed.
2. Enter the new name of the configuration in the File name box and click Save.
The current configuration is saved under the new name. If the current configuration is the default
configuration (ppwatch.cfg), it is saved as a copy of this configuration ([file name].pwX). The actual
configuration applied by the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools service is not affected.
