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 page57.
Activating or deactivating a process
All processes are Active by default, but you may make any PlanetPress Workflow process
Inactive as required. Because making a process active or inactive is a change in the
configuration, to make the change effective you will have to send the edited configuration to
your PlanetPress Workflow service (see "Sending a configuration" on page525).
To activate or deactivate a process:
1.
Right-click the process in question in the Configuration Components pane
2.
Click Active to disable or enable the process.
3. Send your configuration.
Note
If you try to send a configuration that contains only inactive processes, the PlanetPress
Workflow Configuration program will ask you to confirm the operation (this can be
changed in the Notification User Options).
Converting a branch to a subprocess
To allow for maximum flexibility and backward compatibility with the subprocess feature, the
Convert to subprocess option lets users transform existing processes easily. This option is
available whenever a Branch task is selected; right-clicking on it will display the contextual
menu, which holds the Convert to subprocess option.
Selecting this option automatically creates a new subprocess, takes the branch and all of its
children tasks and inserts it in the new subprocess, including the branch task itself. In the main
