Note
A PlanetPress Workflow configuration must be composed of at least one process, but it
may include as many as 512.
PlanetPress Workflow cannot work without a valid configuration, and a PlanetPress Workflow
session running on a given computer can only use one configuration at a time.
For a configuration created in the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration tool to actually be
executed by PlanetPress Workflow, it must be sent to the PlanetPress Workflow Service. When
you do this, your PlanetPress Workflow forgets its previous configuration and starts executing
the tasks included in the new configuration.
The following pages provide information on different parts of a PlanetPress Workflow
configuration:
l "About processes and subprocesses" on page113
l "About Tasks" on page232
l "About data" on page45
l "About variables" on page556
l "Workflow Configuration resource files" on page35
Creating a new configuration
When you start the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration tool, it always opens the
configuration file that is active on the PlanetPress Workflow service. If you create a new
configuration, PlanetPress Workflow automatically creates a process that includes a "Folder
Capture" on page247 initial input task and a "Send to Folder" on page555 output task. You
can then edit and save your new configuration.
To create a new configuration, choose New from the PlanetPress Workflow Button.
If the active configuration file is currently opened, and if it includes unsaved modifications,
PlanetPress Workflow asks you whether to send the configuration to the PlanetPress Watch
service before creating the new configuration. Select the Always send without prompting for
confirmation option to automatically send the edited version of the configuration.
