Note that Job Infos don't change whilst the task executes. Consequently, the value of the field that con-
tains the Job Info will be the same in each of the records in the resulting record set.
Using Job Infos in a PlanetPress Design document
Job Infos are transmitted, unless otherwise configured, directly to any PlanetPress Design document
used within a process and can be directly accessed by that document, so they can be used to transfer
complementary information to a document that is not contained within the data file.
Job Infos sent to the document are global to that document, meaning the values do not change
between data files. This means that if your data file contains multiple data pages for different clients,
your Job Infos cannot be used to send information to the document.
Tip: You can also access global and local variables from your document using the ExpandString
() function. For more information, please see the PlanetPress Design User Guide.
System variables
System variables are standard variables, created and managed directly by PlanetPress Workflow.
These variables are read-only and cannot be modified. They provide information about the job, pro-
cess, and PlanetPress Workflow environment.
