Using files attached to PlanetPress Design documents
Data files
When sending a PlanetPress Design Document from PlanetPress Design to PlanetPress Workflow, all
data files used in the document are automatically sent to PlanetPress Workflow along with the Design
document. These data files appear under the document in the PPS/PSM Documents section of the
Configuration Components.
Setting an attached data file as a sample data file in a process
The attached data file can be used as a sample data file in a process. This sets the emulation of the pro-
cess ("About data emulation" on page54) and makes it possible to debug it (see "Debugging your Plan-
etPress Workflow process" on page89).
1. Make sure the PPS/PSM Documents section is visible by clicking the button if it appears.
2. Expand the document (name.ptk) by clicking the button.
3. Right-click on the data file, then click Set as sample data file.
Viewing an attached data file
1. Make sure the PPS/PSM Documents section is visible by clicking the button if it appears.
2. Expand the document (name.ptk) by clicking the button.
3. Double-click on the data file to open the data selector (see "The Data Selector" on page713).
Note: Double-clicking on the data file does the same thing as right-clicking on it an then selecting
Set as sample data file. Clicking Cancel instead of OK after viewing will prevent this action
from being taken.
Saving an attached data file to disk
1. Make sure the PPS/PSM Documents section is visible by clicking the button if it appears.
2. Expand the document (name.ptk) by clicking the button.
3. Right-click on the data file, then click Save sample data file.
Metadata
When a Design document uses Metadata, it can also be attached with the document. One Metadata file
is generated for each data file attached to the Design document. Metadata does not appear in the Con-
figuration Components pane but it follows the data file and can be viewed from the Metadata tab
whenever the data file is viewed through the Data Selector.
