Comments Tab
The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a text area (Task comments) that lets
you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with
the OK button, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
Data Splitters
Splitter action tasks are used to single data files into multiple data files. You can use such
tasks, for example, to split files that contain statements for multiple clients into smaller files that
each contain a single client statement. Each statement can then be printed and sent by snail
mail, or even emailed directly from PlanetPress Workflow, to each individual client.
