If storing the message or ID, if they are store in a jobinfo they will be available in any error handling process
where errors are being forwarded. In all cases, if your process continues after the error, the contents of the
variables selected in this window will be available for the rest of your process, or whenever they are
overwritten.
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.
Working With Variables
A Variable is basically a keyword that points to specific location in your computer's memory. This location
contains data that you decide to place in it, by assigning that data to the variable name. This chapter will
help you learn about these variables and how you can use them.
Types of Variables
There are 3 types of variables that can be used in PlanetPress Workflow:
l Global Variables are available by all processes and tasks within the configuration, and any
modification made to them affects all tasks and configurations. For more information see "Manipulate
Global Variables" on page 506.
l Local Variables are specific to an instance of a process. That is to say, when a process changes the
information in a local variable, it changes it only for that process and only for that specific instance of
the process. For more information see "Manipulate Local Variables" on page 504.
l Job Infos are also specific to an instance of a process, however their use is different. Just after an
initial or secondary input task, Job Infos contain information about the job file itself. Job Infos are also,
by default, accessible by PlanetPress Connect documents used throughout your process. They are
