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 Set All Tasks button resets the On Error properties of all the tasks
included in the current process to the On Error properties of the process itself.
All other 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88.
About branches and conditions
While some processes can simply start with an input task, manipulate the data with a few action
tasks and finish with an output task, in some cases you may want to have more control over the
flow of your process. For example, you may want multiple outputs, such as printing to multiple
printers as well as generating a PDF and emailing it. To do this, you will need branches. You
may also want to detect certain criteria in your data and act differently depending on that data,
such as sending a fax only when a fax number is found, or printing to a different printer
depending on who send you a print job. To do this, conditional branches ("conditions") are
used.
For the list of operations you can perform on Branches and Conditions, please refer to The
Process Area.
Branches
A branch is effectively a doubling of your job file (see "Job file" on page46). As your job file
goes down the process, when a branch is encountered, a copy of the job file will go in that
branch. In the branch, all tasks up to the Output task will be performed, before returning to the
main trunk to continue processes. You can have branches within branches, and all branches
must have an Output task. For more information on branches, see Branch.
A branch is represented as a crossing .
Adding branches
The PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program offers two different commands when it
comes to adding new branches to a process:
