Task properties
General Tab
l
Folder: Enter the path of the folder to which the files are to be saved.
l
File name: Enter the name of the output files generated by this task. To prevent each new
file from overwriting the previous one, you should use variable names. You can use any
combination of text, variables and data selections; see "Variable task properties" on
page236.
l
Concatenate files: If this option is selected, when PlanetPress Workflow tries to save a
file under a given name, if a file under that same name already exists, instead of
overwriting it, PlanetPress Workflow will append the content of the new file to that of the
existing file. This appending process will go on until the file is removed from the folder.
l
Separator string: This option is used to add a separator string between the content of
each file when the Concatenate files option is selected.
On Error Tab
For a description of the options on the On Error tab see "Using the On Error tab" on page88.
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.
