Task properties
General Tab
l
Hard disk name and path (as required): Enter the name and path of the hard disk to
which the file is to be saved (enter “%disk0%/PPFiles/Resources”, for example, to save
the file to the folder [ROOT]/PPFiles/Resources located on a hard disk identified internally
as “disk0”). Leave blank to save the printer’s default hard disk and path.
l
File name: Enter the name under which you want the file to be saved. By default, this
property is set to “%o”, so the file is saved under its original name (this is often the best
choice, for items such as font files, for instance).
l
File name case:
l
Do not modify: keeps the character casing of the file name as is.
l
All uppercase: changes all characters to upper case (README.TXT, for example).
l
All lower case: changes all characters to lowercase (readme.txt, for example).
l
Keep file extension: Select to use extensions when saving files. When this option is
selected, if the task receives a file with the “txt” extension, for example, it will keep this
extension even if it renames the file (as specified in the File name box).
l
Print confirmation page: Select to print the Variable content document download
confirmation page when the download is successful.
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.
External Program
External Program action tasks are used to launch and execute other programs, which can be
useful when you wish to process your job file in a way that is not possible with the standard
PlanetPress Workflow tasks.
