Common Errors
Though some error messages are specific to a task in particular, others may apply to any and all tasks
because they are related more to the system than to PlanetPress itself. Some examples would be W3813,
W3830, W3991, W4005. These correspond to issues such as not having any space to write files, permission
errors on folders or files, etc.
Comments Tab
The Comments tab, added in PlanetPress Suite 7.5, is common to all tasks. It contains a single text area
(Task comments)that lets you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog
is closed with the OKbutton, and are displayed in The Task Comments Pane.

send replies to the servers from which the requests were made. The HTTP server supports both http and e.
