Table Of Contents
Miscellaneous Tab
The Miscellaneous 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.
The tab also provides an option to highlight the task in "The Process area" on page769 with
the default color, set in the Preferences (see "General appearance preferences" on page659),
or the color selected or defined under Highlight color on this tab.
To revert the selected highlight color to the default color, open this tab, turn the Highlight option
off and close the dialog with the OK button; then turn highlighting back on.
Highlighting can also be turned on and off via the task's contextual menu and with the Highlight
button on the View ribbon.
Digital Action
Digital Action Action tasks generate the same types of documents as generated by
PlanetPress Image output tasks (see "PlanetPress Image" on page448). Since Digital Action
tasks are not Output tasks, the documents they create are typically passed on to the following
task. The image files they generate are always saved, along with their index files (if any), to an
archive folder.
Note
The Digital Action task requires a PlanetPress Image license to be present on the same
IP Subnet as PlanetPress Workflow, either on the same server or a different one with
PlanetPress Image installed and activated.
Differences between Digital Action and Image tasks
l Digital Action is an Action task and cannot be the last task in a branch or process. Image
is an Output task, and has to be placed at the end of a process or branch.
