Creating a new process
You can create a new process in a two different ways:
l
In the Ribbon, go to the Home tab and click the Process button in the Processes group.
l
In the Configuration Components pane, right-click on any process or the Processes
folder and select Insert Process.
Regardless of the method, a new process is created with a default name (Process1, Process2,
etc), Input Task and Output Task. The defaults are configurable in the "Default Configuration
behavior preferences" on page611 screen. The same methods can be used to create a new
Startup process.
To add a PlanetPress Workflow startup process:
l
In the Ribbon, go to the Home tab and click the Startup Process button in the
Processes group.
l
In the Configuration Components pane, right-click on any process or the Processes
folder and select Insert Startup Process.
Note
You can only have one startup process in any given configuration and cannot add more.
For the list of operations you can perform on a process via the Configuration Components
pane, please refer to "Configuration Components pane" on page555.
Considerations
l While your configuration is limited to a maximum of 512 processes, any given process
can have as many tasks as necessary.
l A given process may include output tasks that generate files used by input tasks from
other processes.
l When you send a configuration to your PlanetPress Workflow service, all its active
processes are applied.
l Each process’ schedule determines when its initial input task can be performed.
