Output tasks
Output tasks are exits from PlanetPress Workflow processes. They can be used to send data to
specific devices, such as printers, applications, such as email software, or locations, such as
folders. A single process can include multiple branches, each one terminated by an Output
task, and so a single process may generate output via a variety of Output tasks.
Typically, whenever a PlanetPress Workflow Output task sends output to an output device,
application or location, it considers its job finished. When it sends data to a printer, for example,
it does not wait for the document to have finished printing to consider its job done. In the same
fashion, an Email Output task is completed once PlanetPress Workflow has sent its message to
the email software, not when the email has actually been sent from the software. And in the
case of a PlanetPress Image Output task, PlanetPress Workflow considers its job done once it
has sent its request to PlanetPress Image, not once PlanetPress Image has finished
generating the actual image file.
Other tasks available in PlanetPress Workflow can also be used to generate output, such as
Digital Action, Create VDX and PrintForm Action tasks. Unlike Output tasks, Action tasks are
only considered completed once the output file has been generated. In the case of a Digital
Action Action task, for example, PlanetPress Workflow will consider the task completed only
once the image file has actually been created. This means that no other task from the same
process can be performed in the meantime. For more information on those tasks, refer to
"Action tasks" on page375.
