Backup input files: Check this to save a copy of each data file that is captured by your
input. These files are saved in the PlanetPress Workflow Tools working folders under
the "Backup" folder.
To navigate quickly to the Workflow working folders, press the keyboard shortcut
CTRL+ALT+Shift+F4 from within the Workflow configuration tool.
The number of days to keep backups of jobs processed by input tasks is set per process;
see "Process properties" on page865.
l
Backup filename: Enter the file name that you wish the input data file backup to be saved
under.
l
Delete Existing Metadata: Check to remove any Metadata from memory. This option is
disabled on initial input tasks, and is checked by default on secondary input tasks.
Miscellaneous Tab
The Miscellaneous tab is common to all tasks.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
Secure Email Input
The Secure Email Input task captures a POP3 or IMAP email message with SSL (2.0, 2.3 or
3.0) or TLS (1.0, 1.1 or 1.2) encryption.
Note that this plugin cannot be used on a Windows instance that uses a multi-byte language
(e.g. Japanese, Chinese). The workaround is to either use a different Windows language or use
the standard Email Input/Output plugins.
Input
Secure Email Input captures an email and its attachments from the selected inbox when it
corresponds to the rules defined in the General tab.
It will process one email at a time (unless the process is self-replicating; see "Process
properties" on page865) and it will capture the emails as long as there is unread email in the
selected inbox.
Processing
When using the IMAP protocol, filtering is done at the server level and only the first email
matching the conditions is retrieved from the mail server, along with its attachments.
