l Job name: Enter the job’s file name. By default, the variable %f (Job File Name) is used. You may use
a different variable, but you may not use a data selection. This information may be used for the
printer’s banner page.
l Job owner name: Enter the job owner name. You may use a PlanetPress Workflow variable.
Note
This option is not functional when natively printing PDFs (without a document).
l Documents: Select a specific PlanetPress Connect document if you want all the jobs to be printed 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 file that will be sent to the selected printer queues.
Metadata
If no metadata file is found, the from / to page settings from the job and the printer's properties from the task
configuration are used, with the job's settings overriding those of the printer where applicable. If a metadata
file is found, it is used to indicate which pages are printed and in which order. Any other metadata is ignored.
Known issue: If a data file with metadata is resubmitted to such a process, the from / to page values set by
the user in the Resubmit interface are ignored.
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:
