Selecting a highlight color
The default highlight color may be changed via the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration preferences
(see "Colors" on page640).
A custom highlight color can be defined per task: open the task's properties (double-click) and select or
define a color under Highlight color on the Miscellaneous tab.
To revert the custom highlight color to the default color, open the Miscellaneous tab again, turn the
Highlight option off and close the dialog with the OK button; then turn highlighting back on.
Turning highlighting on and off via the task's contextual menu doesn't change the highlight color.
Disabling tasks and branches
PlanetPress Workflow lets you ignore individual tasks, branches or conditions.
l
When a task is disabled, it is not executed when the process is run in Debug mode (see "Debug-
ging your PlanetPress Workflow process" on page89) or by the PlanetPress Workflow Service.
l
When a branch is disabled, the whole branch including the tasks inside that branch is ignored
and not executed. In the case of conditional branches, this means that the tasks appearing on the
True side are not executed.
A task, branch or condition that was previously disabled out can be re-enabled at any time.
To disable or enable a task or branch:
1. In the PlanetPress Workflow Process area, click the icon of a task or branch.
2. From the Debug tab in the Ribbon, click Ignore. If the task or branch was enabled, it is now dis-
abled, and vice versa.
Moving a task or branch using drag-and-drop
When you want to move a given task or branch, the simplest way is to use drag-and-drop. Using the
mouse, you can drag and drop tasks and branches only within a given process. To move tasks and
branches between different processes, see "Cutting, copying and pasting tasks and branches" on
page740.
Replacing Unknown tasks
When you move a task or branch using drag-and-drop, it typically moves from its original location to a
position immediately preceding the target onto which you dropped it. But if you drop an Input task over
an Unknown input task, the moved task will replace the unknown task. The same will happen if you
drag an Output task over an Unknown output task.
Note: It is impossible to drag-and-drop any task over a configured initial Input or Output task.
