l Right-click on the variable name in the Configuration Components Area and click Delete.
To rename a variable:
l Right-click on the variable name in the Configuration Components Area.
l Click Rename
l Type in the new name of the variable, then press Enter on your keyboard.
While renaming a variable will correctly rename all references to it in task properties or wherever else it is used in a task, it
will not change the references in any script within a Run Script task. Deleting a variable, on the other hand, does not delete any
reference to it. In both the case where a script refers to a variable and it is renamed, or in the case of deleting a variable, any
task or script that refers to it will cease to function and will generate an error.
You can set the value of a variable within your process in two ways:
l Use the Set Job Info and Variable action task. See Set Job Infos and Variables.
l You can use Scripts. See the chapter Using Scripts.
Variables may be used as variable properties in variable property boxes (see Variable Properties).
View Document Properties
The PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration programs let you view a number of the properties associated with the
PlanetPress Design documents you use, but most of those properties are set in PlanetPress Design and cannot be edited using
the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration program.
The Document name of printer-resident documents can be changed using the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration
program simply because it is initially set using that program.
The properties available via the Printer Settings tab define how documents are printed. They are also set using the PlanetPress
Suite Workflow Tools Configuration program and are retained when documents are assigned to printer queues. They can be
edited by selecting documents within the Documents category, which changes the document’s default printer settings, or
within the Printer Queues category, which changes the document properties on the selected queue .
To view the properties of a document, do one of the following:
l Click any document to display its properties in the Object Inspector.
l Double-click any document to display its properties in the PlanetPress Design Document Options
dialog box.
Document Properties Options
Identification Tab
The information here is read-only and gives you information on the document.
l Document: The file name of the document, as entered in PlanetPress Design. This is the name of the file saved in
PlanetPress Design, or the name you give it when you add a printer-resident document in your PlanetPress Suite Work-
flow Tools Configuration. It may have a PTK extension (if it has been sent to PlanetPress Workflow from PlanetPress
Design), or a PS extension (if it is printer-resident).
l Version: The version of the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools in which the document was originally created. Printer-
resident documents are identified as such.
l Document name: The name of the document as entered in PlanetPress Design. You can enter a name for printer-
resident document here; the name does not have to match the name given it in PlanetPress Design. Since this property
