Highlight a task or branch
The Highlight command lets you toggle the background color of selected tasks and branches.
There are several ways to highlight a Process area square.
l Right-click it and select Highlight from the contextual menu.
l
Double-click it, open the Miscellaneous tab and select the Highlight option.
l
Select a square, open the View ribbon and select Highlight from the Navigate group.
To remove the highlight, repeat the procedure.
Selecting a highlight color
The default highlight color may be changed via the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration
preferences (see "Colors" on page775).
A custom highlight color can be defined per task: open the task's properties (double-click) and
select or define a color under Highlight color on the Miscellaneous tab.
To revert the custom highlight color to the default color, open the Miscellaneous tab again, turn
the Highlight option off and close the dialog with the OK button; then turn highlighting back on.
Turning highlighting on and off via the task's contextual menu doesn't change the highlight
color.
Disabling tasks and branches
PlanetPress Workflow lets you ignore individual tasks, branches or conditions.
l When a task is disabled, it is not executed when the process is run in Debug mode (see
"Debugging your PlanetPress Workflow process" on page106) or by the PlanetPress
Workflow Service.
l When a branch is disabled, the whole branch including the tasks inside that branch is
ignored and not executed. In the case of conditional branches, this means that the tasks
appearing on the True side are not executed.
A task, branch or condition that was previously disabled out can be re-enabled at any time.
