The document is imported and displayed in the Configuration Components pane under
PPS/PSM Documents. This physically installs the documents to the Documents folder relative
to the install folder of PlanetPress Workflow.
Adding resident documents to the Configuration Components Pane
By default, the Documents group displayed in Configuration Components pane of the
PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program includes all those documents that are available
on your local PlanetPress Workflow server. Those documents that are not available on your
localPlanetPress Workflow server, but that are either available on printers or on other
PlanetPress Workflow servers must be added to the list, otherwise you will not be able to use
them in your PlanetPress Workflow configuration.
To add a resident document to the Configuration Components pane:
1.
In the PlanetPress WorkflowConfiguration Components pane, right-click PPS/PSM
Documents and choose Insert > Insert Resident Document. The Add Resident
Document dialog box is displayed.
2. Enter the document’s name. Note that the name you enter must exactly match the actual
document name or PlanetPress Workflow will not be able to use it on the printer or
remotePlanetPress Workflow server.
3.
Click OK.
Using files attached to PlanetPress Design documents
Data files
When sending a PlanetPress Design Document from PlanetPress Design to PlanetPress
Workflow, all data files used in the document are automatically sent to PlanetPress Workflow
along with the Design document. These data files appear under the document in the PPS/PSM
Documents section of the Configuration Components.
Setting an attached data file as a sample data file in a process
The attached data file can be used as a sample data file in a process. This sets the emulation
of the process ("About data emulation" on page36) and makes it possible to debug it (see
"Debugging your PlanetPress Workflow process" on page63).
