Input
This task can support files in any emulation, however, the actual file that should be used is one that is
compatible with the selected PlanetPress Connect document.
Processing
This task takes the PostScript version of the document (.ps7), ads the trigger and then the active data file to
it. If metadata is present, the output is based on this metadata (unselected data pages will not generate
output, the sort order will be respected, etc). Otherwise the complete data file is merged.
Output
The output is an PostScript job that can be sent to any output task in "passthrough"mode, for example
Create PDF, PlanetPress Image, etc. Metadata is not generated by this task.
Properties
General tab
l Documents: Select a specific PlanetPress Connect document if you want all the jobs to be merged
with that document.
l Add job information to the document: Select to prompt your PlanetPress Workflow to add the available
job information elements in the header of the generated file. Note that this option is only enabled if a
document was selected.
On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on " Task Properties Dialog" on page 587.
By default, any action task, branch, splitter or condition that generates an error will simply be ignored, and
the task just under it (not within a branch)will be given control of the job file without any modification. Any
initial input task that generates an error will stop the process from running as a whole, and output tasks will
not generate output. The On Error tab can be used to overwrite the default behaviors.
l Send to Process: Check this option to send the job file to an error management process.
l Error Process drop-down:Enabled only when the Send to Process option is checked. Lists any
process of which the initial input task is the Input Error Bin task.
l Action Group:This group is disabled in the initial input tasks and defaults to Stop Process. In all
other tasks where the On Error tab is present, the following options are available:
