Though some error messages are specific to a task in particular, others may apply to any and all tasks because they are
related more to the system than to PlanetPress itself. Some examples would be W3813, W3830, W3991, W4005. These cor-
respond to issues such as not having any space to write files, permission errors on folders or files, etc.
Input from SharePoint
The Input from SharePoint Task can be used to retrieve files from a SharePoint server on your network, filtering on your tem-
plate fields and creating metadata to use in your process.
When the Input from SharePoint task runs, it first lists all of the files to download then runs the process once for each file in the
list. If any new files are added during the process, they will not be touched until the next time the process is scheduled.
This task can work with many of the available SharePoint servers:
l Microsoft SharePoint 2007
l Microsoft SharePoint 2010

l SharePoint Foundation 2010
Input
Any data file present on a SharePoint document store, even those not compatible with PlanetPress' emulations, and the prop-
erties of these files.
