If the default configuration does not include any active process, the PlanetPress Workflow Con-
figuration program asks you whether to continue.
If a file different from the default configuration file is currently opened, and if it includes unsaved modi-
fications, the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program asks you whether to save the configuration
before exiting. Select the Always save without prompting for confirmation option to automatically
save any unsaved work before exiting.
Workflow Configuration resource files
Workflow serves as automation tool in a number of distinct products. Some of the tasks that can be
used in a Workflow configuration will work with product-specific resource files:
l
PlanetPress Connect Resources are files created with one of the other Connect modules - the
Designer and DataMapper (see "Connect resources" below).
l
PlanetPress Suite users may use PlanetPress Design documents (see "PlanetPress Design doc-
uments" on page42) in PlanetPress Workflow processes.
l
PrintShop Mail Suite users may use PrintShop Mail documents to create output using the
"PrintShop Mail" on page609 task (see "PrintShop Mail documents" on page46).
These product-specific files need to be sent to (or imported into) Workflow before they can be used in
conjunction with a task. This chapter explains how to do that. Imported files become visible in the "Con-
figuration Components pane" on page692.
Connect resources
Connect resources are files created with Connect's Designer or DataMapper (see "Connect
resources" above). They are visible in the "Configuration Components pane" on page692 and are
added by using the Send to Workflow option from the PlanetPress Connect Designer's File menu.
The available resources are:
l
Data Mapping Configurations: Data mapping configurations are used with the "Execute Data
Mapping" on page524 task to extract data from the job file.
For each data mapping configuration in the list, the following two items appear within them:
l
Data Model: Displays the data model used in the data mapping configuration. Double-click
on the data model to view it in your default XML viewer (generally, Internet Explorer).
l
Sample Data File(s): Displays a list of sample files that are included in the data mapping
configuration. (See also: "Sample Data" on page63.)
Tip: Double-click on a sample data file to use it as a sample data file for the active
process.
