On Error Tab
A process’s On Error tab specifies the default values for error handling of all of the tasks in that
process. When a task has its own error handling settings, those settings overwrite the process's
default error handling settings.
The options in the On Error tab of the Process Properties dialog are the same as in the On Error
tab in the Task Properties dialogs; see "Using the On Error tab" on page57.
Manipulate Global Variables
Note
For information about Local Variables see Local Variables.
Global Variables are set at the level of the configuration file and are shared between all
processes and tasks. Global variables can be used anywhere that accepts variables by using
it's name preceded by "global."and surrounded by curly brackets (for example:%
{global.myGlobalVariable}).
Global variables are generally used to keep information that applies to multiple locations but
need to be changed easily. For example, a lot of uses use them to set a server's IP, a printer
name, or folder location that is used by multiple processes. This is useful when moving the
configuration file to another installation of the Workflow Tools where this information is different,
or to quickly modify specific information if something changes on the server. You can have as
many global variable as you want in any given configuration.
To add a global variable from the Configuration Components pane:
1. Right-Click on Global Variables.
2. Click Insert, then Insert Global Variable.
The new variable will appear as GlobalVar or GlobalVarX (the name is automatically
incremented).
To add a global variable from the Ribbon:
1. Click on the Home tab of the PlanetPress Workflow Ribbon.
