Task properties
General Tab
l
Job Preset file: Select which Job Preset to use to generate the job. To be used in this
dialog, a preset must have been sent to PlanetPress Workflow using the Package File
function in PlanetPress Connect.
l
Default: The IDs in the Metadata are used instead of a job preset file. Select this
option if the Print Content Set is the result of the "Retrieve Items" on page600 task.
l
"%o": Select to use a dynamic preset name. Click on %o to change the expression
that determines the name of the preset to use. The preset name must be available in
the Connect Resources (see "Connect resources" on page40).
l
Preset Names: Select the appropriate preset to generate output. Listed are the Job
Presets that are present in the Connect Resources (see "Connect resources" on
page40).
l
Unselect unused Content Items in metadata: When this option is checked, only
Content Items that were actually included in the Job are set to "selected" in the Metadata
(see "Metadata" on page75).
l
Runtime Parameters: The Runtime Parameters defined in the selected Job Creation
Preset are displayed and their values can be edited here. Right-click the field to open the
contextual menu that allows to select variables, data and lookup functions (see "Data
selections" on page54).
Note that it is not possible to change a parameter's type here; that can only be set in the
Job Creation Preset itself.
At runtime, Workflow passes the parameter values as strings, and the type defined in the
Job Creation Preset will be used to try and parse the input parameter value. In order to
make this work:
o
Boolean values need to be entered as either “true” or “false”. (When the comparison
actually occurs, it will be a full Boolean comparison. Thus it can compare this
runtime parameter with Boolean data values that are stored as 0/1 in data fields.)
o
Numeric string values need to be parseable as a number (either a whole integer or
decimal value).
o
Dates should be in an ISO8601 compatible format (e.g. 2019-10-15) or use the
current Windows Locale date settings options.The latter is not recommended as it
requires all computers in the cluster have the same locale data format.
The order of the parameters doesn't affect the way they are handled at runtime.
