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.
OL Connect tasks
OL Connect tasks are available in PlanetPress Workflow 8.0 and up. They are used
specifically to communicate with the Server component of PlanetPress Connect or PReS
Connect and for such purposes as creating record sets, generating contents and generating
output.
All In One
The All In One task extracts data from the job file, merges the data with a Connect Designer
template, and creates print output. (See also: "OL Connect print jobs" on page98.)
This task is a combination of the 4 different OL Connect tasks that are normally used in
conjunction to generate Print output: "Execute Data Mapping" on page522, "Create Print
Content" on page515, "Create Job" on page504, and "Create Output" on page506.
Combining them in a single task makes creating Print content easier and faster, as the task is
optimized for this specific purpose. It exchanges less data with the server than the separate
plugins do and it has multi-threading support: it can produce the data set and content items in
parallel.
The task is build with 4 tabs that represent the main steps of the creation of a Print Output: Data
Mapping, Content Creation, Job Creation and Output Creation.
This task can be added as an Action task (see "Action Tasks" on page291) or as an Output
task (see "Output Tasks" on page539). Adding it as an Action task enables the process or
branch to continue after this task. An Output task is always located at the end of a process or
branch.
