branch does a backup of Job Info variables and the data file, it does not back up the metadata. Keep
this in mind when designing a process.
A Branch is effectively a doubling of your job file (see "Job file" on page46). As your job file
goes down the process, when a branch is encountered, a copy of the job file will go in that
branch. In the branch, all tasks up to the Output task will be performed, before returning to the
main trunk to continue processes. You can have branches within branches, and all branches
must have an Output task. For more information on branches, see " About branches and
conditions" on page125 and "Branch" below.
A Loop is a task that will cause anything after it to repeat a certain number of times. You can
indicate a static number of loops or dynamically determine the number via a variable or
information from your job file, and store the iteration of the loop in a Job Info variable. See
"Loop" on page411.
The Send to Process Action and Go Sub Action are used to send the job file to another
process or subprocess and, in the case of the GoSub, to get information back from the
subprocess. See "Send to Process" on page415 and "Go Sub" on page409.
Branch
A Branch duplicates your job file along with accompanying information. Branches do not
execute in parallel - the branch is executed, and then the trunk (or the following branch)
continues.
For more information about branching see " About branches and conditions" on page125.

Backup job file: Select if you want PlanetPress Workflow to use identical copies of the
job file for the main and secondary branches. When this option is not selected, the file
generated by the output task located at the end of the secondary branch is used as the job
file for the main branch. Note that if the secondary branch ends with a Delete output task,
the main branch will receive the job file in the state it was just before the delete. If the
secondary branch includes a splitter task, the main branch will receive the last part of the
