"Toggle" means turn on when it's off and vice versa, when selecting multiple blocks in
one command. This means if you select a certain number of blocks in the Time Grid and
then use the shift+click or drag method, blocks that are on will turn off.
Warning
Changes made to the system time can have adverse effects on the processes managed
by PlanetPress Workflow. When changing from daylight saving time to standard time, for
example, if PlanetPress Workflow starts a given process at 2:00 AM, and if the system
time is then taken back to 1:00AM, the application will start a new instance of the same
process when the system time reaches 2:00 AM for a second time. So, when you
manually change the system time, be aware that it may have an effect on PlanetPress
Workflow and its processes. And for those cases when you know the system time will
change automatically, you may consider creating special schedules.
Information tab
The Information tab lets you enter information that is not critical to your process but may help
others (or yourself in the future)๎to understand what the process does. It offers two boxes:
l Description: A๎one-line box to give a title or short description to your process.
l Comments:๎A multi-line box to give more detailed information, for example the file format
expected, explanation of the system in general.
