There are a few things to keep in mind when dropping tasks:
l
You can insert input tasks anywhere in the process except in output task locations.
l
When you add an output task, a new branch leading to that new task is added above the selected
task or branch, except when replacing an existing output task.
l
Dropping a task on top of another one replaces it.
l
Dropping a task between two tasks will insert it at that location.
l
You cannot add a task above the initial input task of a process, since new tasks are always added
above a selected task or branch.
Editing a task
To edit a task, you simply need to access and change its properties (see "Task properties" below). You
may even do it while your process is in Debug mode (See "Debugging your PlanetPress Workflow pro-
cess" on page89).
To edit a task:
1. In the PlanetPress Workflow Process area, double-click the Task icon. A dialog box containing
the available task properties is displayed.
2. Edit the task properties as required. Click specific tabs to see all the properties associated with
the task.
3. Click OK to close the dialog box and save the new properties.
Note: For the list of operations you can perform on tasks in a process via the Process area,
please refer to "The Process area" on page739.
Task properties
Any task you add to your PlanetPress Workflow process must be configured using its Properties dia-
log. It appears as soon as you add a task to a process, or when you double-click on a task.
Each task's Properties dialog will give you the options to configure that specific, individual task. Prop-
erties of one task do not directly affect the properties of another task, however there are some software
preferences that may affect tasks in one way or another (see "Preferences" on page638).
Each task has its own set of tabs available, though some tabs are common to most tasks.
l
Most tasks have the General tab which lets you configure the main task properties for that spe-
cific task.
l
All tasks except for the InputErrorBin, Run Script, Open XLST and Comment tasks have an
On Error tab that lets you manage errors generated by the task. For a description of the options
