l
Numeric comparison: This option is not displayed when either “Is found” or “Is not found” is selected
in the Operator box. Select to convert the strings from the String and Comparison string boxes to their
corresponding numeric values before performing the comparison. If you chose an operator that
compares numeric values, you should select this option.
l
On numeric error: This option is only available when the Numeric comparison option is selected.
Select the behavior you prefer when PlanetPress Workflow is unable to successfully perform a
numeric comparison. Select ”Return the error”, if you want the Text condition to fail altogether. Select
”Return true”, if you want the condition to be considered True. Select ”Return false”, if you want the
condition to be considered False.
l
Location: You can only enter a location when either ”Is found” or ”Is not found” is selected in the
Operator box. If you select “at”, you also have to enter a specific line and column. If you select “on line”,
you have to enter a given line. If you select “in area”, you have to enter a range of lines and columns. If
you select “on the page”, the search area will cover the whole data page (as defined below).
l
Compare to string: You cannot enter a comparison string when either “Is found” or “Is not found” is
selected in the Operator box. Enter the second string of the comparison in this box. As with the String
box, you can enter a static string, a variable or a data selection in this box.
l
Page range: Select Any page if you do not want to specify a precise data page. Select Pages to
specify individual pages or page ranges. The page range setting is only considered when either ”Is
found” or ”Is not found” is selected in the Operator box.
l
Range: Entries must be separated by commas. Page ranges are entered using a starting page and an
ending page, separated by a dash. For pages 1, 3 and 5 to 7, you would enter the following: 1,3,5-7.
l
Invert condition result: Select to toggle the result of the condition (true becomes false and vice
versa).
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found in the" Task Properties Dialog" on page666.
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.
