has sent its request to PlanetPress Image, not once PlanetPress Image has finished
generating the actual image file.
Other tasks available in PlanetPress Workflow can also be used to generate output, such as
Digital Action, Create VDX and PrintForm Action tasks. Unlike Output tasks, Action tasks are
only considered completed once the output file has been generated. In the case of a Digital
Action Action task, for example, PlanetPress Workflow will consider the task completed only
once the image file has actually been created. This means that no other task from the same
process can be performed in the meantime. For more information on those tasks, refer to
"Action Tasks" on page254.
Send to Folder tasks, which are considered as Action and Output tasks, are documented in the
current chapter.
Delete
Delete output tasks simply delete the job files they receive. They are often used after conditions
to get rid of those files that did not meet the requirements of the condition.
Input
Any data file, with optional metadata.
Processing
The data file is either deleted directly or sent to the Windows Recycle Bin.
Properties
