3.
Select the file, then click Open. The Import Configuration dialog appears displaying all
the processes and/or process groups, as well as the subprocesses, variables,
PlanetPress Design documents and printer queues in the selected configuration file.
4. In the list, select the components you want to import. The PlanetPress Workflow
Configuration program lets you open and import any of the following:
l Complete PlanetPress Watch 4 to 6 configurations, as well as PlanetPress
Workflow 7 and 8 configurations.
l Specific processes from Version 6, 7 and 8 configurations, including their local
variables.
l Specific subprocesses from any PlanetPress Workflow 7 and 8 Tools
configurations.
l Specific global variables from PlanetPress Workflow 7 and 8 Tools configurations.
l References to specific PlanetPress Design or PrintShop Mail documents. Note that
the documents themselves must be imported separately.
l Specific printer queues.
5.
Check Overwrite existing components with same name if you want processes with
existing names to be overwritten by those in the imported configuration, or uncheck it to
duplicate those processes under a new automatically generated name.
6.
Click OK to start the import.
PlanetPress Workflow Configuration imports the selected objects and automatically
renames duplicate items in the imported configuration.
Important considerations
l When importing a PlanetPress Workflow configuration file, resource files like Connect
templates, PlanetPress Design documents and PrintShop Mail documents are not
physically imported as they are not part of the configuration file itself. In order for the
documents to be available, you will need to send each document from Connect Designer,
PlanetPress Design or PrintShop Mail (see their respective documentation for details).
l
If you import a PlanetPress Workflow configuration that contains a PlanetPress Fax
output task, you must update the task’s properties and refresh the host name. Otherwise,
when PlanetPress Workflow will attempt to output the file, an error will be generated.
