sure it contains the value that you want, and not one that has been overwritten by another task.
l Job infos sent to the document are global to that document, meaning the values do not change between data files. This
means that if your data file contains multiple data pages for different clients, your job infos cannot be used to send infor-
mation to the document.
l Job infos are in limited quantity and are slowly being deprecated when transferring data to your document. You should
probably consider using Metadata, or Local Variables.
Standard Variables
Standard Variables, also known as "system variables", are variables that are created and managed directly by PlanetPress
Suite Workflow Tools. Those variables are read-only and cannot be modified. They provide information about the job, proc-
ess, and the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools environment.
Available Standard Variables
