Local settings
Different users may create different printer queues. Let us say you have a big HP printer in your
office. User A creates a printer queue on his system called “Big HP” for that printer, and user B
creates one called “My printer” for the same printer. A configuration created on user A’s system
and then used on user B’s system would generate errors trying to print to the “Big HP” printer
queue.
Different users may also map network drives differently. Let us say this time that you have a
server in your office. User A maps that server’s main drive using drive letter “y:” while user B
maps it using drive letter “z:” A configuration created on one system and then used on the other
would both get and save the wrong files from the wrong drives. Note that such situations may
be avoided by using the Universal Naming Convention option.
User specificity
PlanetPress Workflow configurations are not user specific as such. If you make sure that all the
user accounts have adequate network rights, that printer queues are defined the same way on
all systems, and that all network drives are mapped using the same drive letters (or that the
UNC option is selected in the network options), then you should have no problems running
configurations on different systems using different user accounts.
Workflow Services
To be able to run and to have access to local files as well as to files available on other
computers in your network, PlanetPress Workflow applications and services must identify
themselves using a local or network account.
The first time you start the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program, the application
automatically asks you to choose an account (see below).
You can also manually start this procedure from the PlanetPress Workflow Tools by following
this procedure: click on the Tools tab in PlanetPress Workflow Ribbon, then click Configure
Services.
Set the PlanetPress Workflow applications permissions as required:

PlanetPress Workflow, PlanetPress Fax, and PlanetPress Image) under the Local
System account. The Local System account is distinct from the Administrator account. It
