PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools will try to remove all the files located in that folder, including all the system and hid-
den files. So when using a Folder Capture, be aware of where you are capturing.
General Tab
l Folder: Enter the full path of the folder from which the input files are to be taken.
l Masks: Enter a single or multiple file names or use file name masks. See Masks.
l Sort files by: Select a given sorting method to prompt PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools to sort the files in the source
folder before taking them (and thus to take them in a specific order). Select None to let PlanetPress Suite Workflow
Tools take the files without sorting them first.
l Sort order: If you selected a sorting method in the Sort files by box, select the order in which you want the files to
be sorted.
l Use archive attribute: Select to turn on the archive attribute of the data files found in the source folder and to leave
them in their original location (i.e. to take copies of the source files). Note that PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools never
takes source files that have their archive attribute turned on (so the source files will not be taken again and again).
When this option is turned off, PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools removes data files from the source location.
l Capture files in sub-directories also: Select to capture files from child folders of the source folder as well.
l Sort directories first: If you selected a sorting method in the Sort files by box, and if you want the folders present
in the source folder to be sorted first, select this option. When this option is selected, the chosen Sort order is applied to
each separate folder, not across folders. The subfolders themselves are always processed in alphabetical order,
regardless of the sort order.
l Include hidden files: Select if you want any hidden folders or files present in the source folder to be taken as well.
l Include empty files: Select if you want any empty folders or files present in the source folder to be taken as well.
"Other" Tab
l Job Information group
l Information elements:indicates what job infos are automatically created by the input task.
l Add lines before first data page:Using the arrows keys you can add any job information directly at the
beginning of your data file.
l Backup input files:Check this to save a copy of each data file that is captured by your input. These files are saved in
the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools working folders under the "Backup"folder.
l Backup filename:Enter the filename that you wish the input data file backup to be saved under.
l Delete Existing Metadata:Check to remove any metadata from memory. This option is disabled on initial input
tasks, and is checked by default on secondary input tasks.
Job Information definitions
l %1- Source File Name. Contains the filename (excluding path but including extension)of the file name that is cap-
tured. Equivalent to using the %o system variable.
l %2- Folder:Contains the folder from which the data was captured.
On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on Task Properties Dialog.
If storing the message or ID, if they are store in a jobinfo they will be available in any error handling process where errors are
being forwarded. In all cases, if your process continues after the error, the contents of the variables selected in this window
will be available for the rest of your process, or whenever they are overwritten.
