l
Backup job information: Select if you want PlanetPress Workflow to use identical
copies of the job file information for the main and secondary branches. When this option
is not selected, the job file information that reaches the output task located at the end of
the secondary branch is used for the main branch. Any modification performed on the
secondary branch thus has an impact on the main branch.
l
Backup emulation: Select if you want PlanetPress Workflow to use the emulation
selected when the job file reaches the secondary branch for the main branch as well.
When this option is not selected, the emulation selected when the job file reaches the
output task located at the end of the secondary branch is used for the main branch. If the
secondary branch includes a secondary input task or a Change Emulation action task,
then the last emulation selected in the secondary branch will be the one used for the main
branch.
l
Backup local variables: Select if you want PlanetPress Workflow to use identical copies
of the local variables for the main and secondary branches. When this option is not
selected, the local variables that reaches the output task located at the end of the
secondary branch is used for the main branch. Any modification performed on the
secondary branch thus has an impact on the main branch.
In case of the failure of a Branch task (the branch itself, not the other tasks contained within),
by default the process will ignore the branch and simply go down the main trunk. You can
overwrite this in the On Error tab.
On Error Tab
For a description of the options on the On Error tab see "Using the On Error tab" on page57.
Comments Tab
The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a text area (Task comments)that lets
you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with
the OKbutton, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
Comment
Comments can be used to clarify your process either for yourself or others, to explain branches
and scripts, or add information for anyone editing the configuration in the future.
