Task properties
General Tab
l
Process: The name of the target process to send the current job to. Note that startup
processes and subprocesses are not available. You can either enter the name of a
process (or use variable properties) or use the drop-down to list existing processes.
On Error Tab
For a description of the options on the On Error tab see "Using the On Error tab" on page88.
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.
SNMP Condition
SNMP is a communication protocol for helping network administrators manage devices and
peripherals on their network. It is useful for verifying the status of network printers, as you can
retrieve error and other status messages that printers send out, such as being out of paper or
having low toner.
PlanetPress Workflow uses the SNMP protocol in the form of an SNMP Condition, in two ways:
l To check the status of printers on your network against values you set in a condition, and
to return a true or false value. This is called setting a Printer condition in the SNMP
condition's Properties dialog box.
l To check different values of printers or other SNMP compatible devices against
conditions you set, to return a true or false value. This is called setting a User defined
condition in the SNMP condition's Properties dialog box. You indicate what is called
management information bases (MIB) and object identifiers (OID) that are extensible and
can be vendor specific.
