variables and data selections; see "Variable task properties" on page236.

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 page659),
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.
Run Script
Run Script tasks are used to run scripts that typically perform some kind of processing on the
job file received by the task. Scripts are often simpler to write than programs added with the
External Program action (see "External Program" on page344). However, they can be slower
to execute.
