The Message Area Pane
The Messages area is used in Debug mode to indicate the status of your PlanetPress Suite process as the sample data file is
processed and used to generate output. When your PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools runs in Debug mode, the Messages area
displays useful processing and error information.
Messages are displayed in different colors (debug levels)in the Message area.
l Messages in Red are critical and are normally critical errors in the plugin.
l Messages in Orange are warnings.
l Messages in Gray are job info and variable changes.
l Messages in Black are debug information and processing information.
There are various actions you can execute in the Message area. Here they are:
l Click any line to select it.
l While a line is selected, press Delete on your keyboard or right-click on the line and select Delete to delete the line.
l While a line is selected, press CTRL+Xon your keyboard or right-click on the line and select Cut to place the line in
the clipboard.
l Press CTRL+C on your keyboard or right-click on the line and select Copy to place a copy of the line in the clipboard.
l Press CTRL+A on your keyboard or right-click on any line and select Select All to select all the lines in the Message
Area.
l Right-click anywhere in the Message Area and select Clear Messages to clear the contents of the Message Area.
l Right-click anywhere in the Message Area and select Save to File to display a dialog box that lets you save a copy of
the MessageArea content to a text file.
The Message Area will only display information while running in Debug mode. It does not display information from other run-
ning services, and will not display the log of any process running in a live configuration (submitted to the PlanetPress Suite
Workflow Tools Service).
To learn more about debugging a process, refer to Debugging and Error Handling.
Customizing the Program Window
You can combine and attach the Configuration Components Pane, Messages area and Object Inspector into a single secondary
window that can be docked to and undocked from the main PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration program window.
Combining and attaching areas can facilitate the management of your screen real estate. It lets you reposition multiple areas
in a single operation.
