Importing processes
You can import individual processes or groups of processes from another PlanetPress
Workflow configuration file without having to import the contents of the entire configuration file.
The PlanetPress Workflow Configuration tool imports everything necessary to run the
processes, including configured tasks and some configuration components.
Note
Resource files must be imported separately; see "Importing Connect resource files" on
page39, "Importing PlanetPress Design documents" on page44 and "Importing
PrintShop Mail documents" on page48.
To import processes and other components from a configuration file:
1.
From the PlanetPress Workflow Button, choose Import | Configuration Components.
The Import dialog appears.
2. Navigate to the PlanetPress Workflow configuration file containing the processes or
groups of processes you want to import.
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.
