l Action Group:This group is disabled in the initial input tasks and defaults to Stop Process. In all other tasks where
the On Error tab is present, the following options are available:
l Ignore:The task is ignored as if it did not exist, and the job file is passed on to the next task in the process.
l Stop Branch:If the task is in a branch of the process, the branch is stopped and the job file is returned to the
process after the branch. The branch will not produce any output.
l Stop Process:The process is stopped and no more processing is done. No further output is produced.
l Log Message:Check this option to enable logging a custom error message in the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools'
log file.
l Message:Enabled only when the Log Message option is checked. Enter a message that will be logged in the Plan-
etPress Suite Workflow Tools' log file. You can use any variables available in PlanetPress Workflow to customize the
message.
l ID:Select the error IDyou want to attribute to the error log.
l Reset to defaults:Resets all options in this tab to their default values.
The error management system(the "on error"tab and the "error bin input"task), however, are only triggered when there is
an error within the task functionality - that is, a plugin error. These kinds of errors are triggers if the plugin cannot com-
municate with a service, another task, if the plugin crashes, etc.
Cutting, Copying and Pasting Tasks and Branches
Using cut and paste, and copy and paste, you can move as well as duplicate tasks and branches within a given process as well
as between different processes.
To cut and paste tasks or branches:
1. In the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Process area, select the task or branch you want to cut and paste.
2. From the Home tab in the Ribbon, choose Cut (or Right-Click and select Cut from the drop-down menu).
3. To paste the task or branch to a different process, select that process.
4. Select the task or branch crossing above which you want the task or branch to be pasted.
5. From the Home tab in the Ribbon, choose Paste (or Right-Click and select Paste from the drop-down menu).
To copy and paste tasks or branches:
1. In the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Process area, select the task or branch you want to copy and paste.
2. From the Home tab in the Ribbon, choose Copy (or Right-Click and select Copy from the drop-down menu).
3. To paste the task or branch to a different process, select that process.
4. Select the task or branch crossing above which you want the task or branch to be pasted.
5. From the Home tab in the Ribbon, choose Paste (or Right-Click and select Paste from the drop-down menu).
There are a few things to keep in mind when pasting tasks:
l When you cut a task or branch, it disappears from the Process Area but is kept in your clipboard until it is pasted some-
where else.
l You can cut or copy a task or branch from one process and paste it in another process or subprocess.
l When you cut an input or output task, it is replaced with an unknown task, that you will need to replace with another
task for the process to be functional.
l If you cut one task or branch, then cut another one, the first one is lost and replaced by the second. Remember how-
ever that you can always undo the command to retrieve it (see Undo a Command).
l Tasks and branches will always appear on top (in other words, before)the task or branch where you paste it. The only
exceptions are input and output tasks which can only be pasted on top of unknown tasks.
Instead of pasting the actual task or branch, you can simply paste the properties of the task or branch.
