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.
Process Logic tasks
A process is like a flowchart. The data files captured by the Input tasks become job files (see
"Job file" on page46) that travel down the process. Many processes include multiple process
logic tasks.
In the Process area, conditional branches appear with their associated condition, allowing you
to understand the logic of the whole process at a glance. When PlanetPress Workflow comes to
a condition, it tests the condition and sends the job file down one of the two branches based on
the test result. So every time a job file travels down the process, it is either routed down the
True or False branch.
Note
Branches, Loops and other Process Logic tasks do not generally modify the job file, though some
may change system variables. The only exception is the Run Script action, which can be a condition
that also modifies the data.
Warning
Branches, Loops and Conditions do NOT modify metadata in any way. Furthermore, even if a
