Note
As with any task that can refer to network resources, it is important to understand the considerations
involved with paths and permissions of these resources. Please refer to the Network Considerations
page in the Advanced Configuration and Options chapter (Reference Guide, in English only).

Processing

Properties
General tab
l
Folder: Enter the path of the folder to which the files are to be saved.
l
File name: Enter the name of the output files generated by this task. To prevent each new file from
overwriting the previous one, you should use variable names. As with any variable property box, you
can use any combination of text, variables and data selections.
l
Concatenate files: If this option is selected, when PlanetPress Workflow tries to save a file under a
given name, if a file under that same name already exists, instead of overwriting it, PlanetPress
Workflow will append the content of the new file to that of the existing file. This appending process will
go on until the file is removed from the folder.
l
Separator string: This option is used to add a separator string between the content of each file when
the Concatenate files option is selected.
