Action Tasks
Use action tasks in PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools to perform a wide variety of operations. PlanetPress Suite Workflow
Tools includes more action tasks then input and output tasks combined. Action tasks can even be used to input data and to out-
put data.
The difference between an action task and an input task is that an action task can never be the first task of a process. In the
same fashion, the difference between an action task and an output task, is that an action task can never appear at the end of a
process. In other words, action tasks are always placed between other tasks.
