that are shared between those objects can be changed in the Object Inspector. Changing
a property changes it for all the selected objects.
The Object Inspector also displays information about the Job File while it is being processed in
Debug mode. Seeing how files change as they travel down a process can provide valuable
debugging information. You can even change some of the job information from the Object
Inspector (such as Job Infos)while in debugging.
Note
When you select a group (folder), no information is displayed in the Object Inspector, because what
is really selected is the group heading and not the items included in the group.
The Plug-in Bar
PlanetPress Workflow offers a constantly increasing number of plugins, while always allowing
third party plugins to be installed and set up to be used by PlanetPress Workflow. The
PlanetPress Workflow Plug-in Bar lists all plugins available in PlanetPress Workflow, and is
divided into categories, which users can customize at will.
Most of the PlanetPress plugins are installed by default, but other plugins may be added.
Because the plugins are always expected to execute some sort of task, they are always
referred to, in this documentation, as tasks, except in the specific case of importing a new
plugin or customizing the Plug-in Bar.
Categories
The default categories list plugins according to what type of task they achieve. When first
starting your PlanetPress Workflow program, the following categories are used:
