About Workflow Configurations
PlanetPress Workflow configuration files are defined as a set of processes, subprocesses,
variables, documents and printer queues, that work together within PlanetPress Workflow
Service.
PlanetPress Workflow cannot work without a valid configuration, and a PlanetPress Workflow
session running on a given computer can only use one configuration at a time. Once you have
created a configuration, you must “send” it to the PlanetPress Workflow Service. When you do
this, your PlanetPress Workflow forgets its previous configuration and starts executing the tasks
included in the new configuration.
Note
A PlanetPress Workflow configuration must be composed of at least one process, but it
may include as many as 512.
For a configuration created in the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration tool to actually be
executed by PlanetPress Workflow, it must be sent to its PlanetPress Workflow service.

configuration:
