Start the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration Program
This procedure explains how to start the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration program, which is different from
starting PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools service itself (see Start and Stop the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Service).
To start the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration program:
l In the Windows Start menu, choose Programs | PlanetPress Suite N | PlanetPress Watch/Of-
fice/Production N Configuration. (Where N represents the current PlanetPress Suite installation version
number.)
The PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration Program window appears and the default configuration
(ppwatch.cfg) is opened.
If this is the first time you open your PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration after installation, the PlanetPress
Suite Services configuration dialog box appears, where you enter the username and corresponding password under
which your configuration’s services run.
The PlanetPress Button
The PlanetPress Button replaces the File menu from previous versions, and provides access to the File menu options. The
color of the button itself can show you at a glance what flavor of PlanetPress Workflow is currently licensed on the
machine:Yellow for Watch, Light Orange for Office, Dark Orange for Production.
The available menu options of the PlanetPress Button are:
l New:Closes the configuration that is currently opened and creates a new configuration, with a single example process
and no printer queues. See Create a New Configuration.
l Open: Displays the dialog to open an existing configuration file.
l Save: Saves the current configuration. If the file is new and has not yet been saved, or if the configuration is the loaded
directly from the service, the Save As dialog is displayed instead. See Save your Configuration.
l Save As: Saves the current configuration under a new name. It does not overwrite any existing configuration file,
unless an existing file is selected and overwritten manually by the user.
l Import:
l Configuration Components:Displays the Import Processes dialog, letting you import processes and other
components from other existing configuration files. See Import Processes from Another Configuration File.
l PlanetPress Document:Displays the dialog to import a PlanetPressDocument to be added to the list in the
components area.
l PrintShop Mail Document:Displays the dialog to import a PrintShop Mail Document to be added to the list
in the components area.
l Send Configuration: Sends the current configuration to the PlanetPress Watch service. See Send your
Configuration.
l Close: Closes the configuration that is currently opened and creates a new configuration, with a single example proc-
ess and no printer queues. Closing the current configuration is the same as creating a new one.
l Recent Documents: Displays a list of the 9 most recently opened configuration files. Click on any of them to open it.
l Select Language: Click to display the language selection dialog, which changes the PlanetPress Workflow interface
language. See Change the Interface Language.
