Tip
A branch in a process can be converted into a subprocess; see "Converting a branch to a
subprocess" on page125.
Editing a process
Designing a process is done by dragging tasks from the Plug-In Bar onto the process in the
Process area. Each task then needs to be configured via the Task properties dialog (see
"About Tasks" on page232). For a list of all operations you can perform on tasks in the Process
area, please refer to "The Process area" on page728.
Processes can be deleted, duplicated, renamed, disabled, grouped etc. via the
Configuration Components pane. For a list of all operations that can be performed on
processes in the Configuration Components pane, please refer to "Configuration Components
pane" on page630.
Special workflow types
PlanetPress Workflow supports multiple input and output types, in so many different
combinations that it would be hard to give example processes for each possibility. However,
some types of processes like HTTP and PDF processes will probably be used more often than
other types of processes. You will find a description of each of these special workflow types
