PlanetPress Workflow applies the user account information to all the services (PlanetPress Workflow,
PlanetPress Fax, PlanetPress Image, LPD input, Serial input, Telnet input, FTP output, LPR output,
and PlanetPress Messenger), that run on this computer.
The PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program does not test user names and passwords, but
merely associates them with the services that require them. If you enter a bad user name or password,
these services will be denied access to the selected account.
The account you choose will be used by PlanetPress Workflow and all its services, as well as by Plan-
etPress Fax and PlanetPress Image. If you install PlanetPress Fax or PlanetPress Image on the same
computer after performing this procedure, you will have to perform it once again, so as to choose the
same account for all the installed applications.
About Tasks
A task is a plugin or a block that is used to build PlanetPress Workflow processes. Tasks can do mul-
tiple things depending on the type of task and where they are placed. You can add as many tasks as
you like to your processes and order them in any way you can.
There are different types of tasks:
l
Input Task: Will either capture data from a specific location, or wait for input from a service or
other computer to start processing.
l
Action Task: Will manipulate the data in any number of ways. An action task is any task that is
not an input or output task or a branch or condition.
l
Output Task: Will output data to a specific location or send to a different service or computer.
Some tasks are multipurpose and can be used as either an input, action or output task or any com-
bination. These multipurpose tasks are indicated as such in the task description and can be found in
the most relevant section of the available tasks.
All plugins can be found in "The Plug-in Bar" on page737.
