You can set the value of a variable within your process in two ways:
l
Use the Set Job Info and Variable action task. See "Set Job Infos and Variables" on page312.

You can use Scripts. See the chapter "Using Scripts" on page81.
Variables may be used as variable properties in variable property boxes (see Variable Properties).
About Configurations
PlanetPress Workflow configuration files are defined as a set of processes, subprocesses, variables,
documents and printer queues, that work together within PlanetPress Workflow Service.
PlanetPress Workflow cannot work without a valid configuration and a PlanetPress Workflow session
running on a given computer can only use one configuration at a time. Once you have created a
configuration, you must “send” it to the PlanetPress Workflow Service. When you do this, your PlanetPress
Workflow forgets its previous configuration and starts executing the tasks included in the new configuration.
Note
A PlanetPress Workflow configuration must be composed of at least one process, but it may include
as many as 512.
For a configuration created in PlanetPress Workflow Configuration to actually be executed by PlanetPress
Workflow, it must be sent to its PlanetPress Workflow service.
See the following pages for information on different parts of PlanetPress Workflow Configuration:

page71.
l For information about Global Variables, see "Working With Variables" on page535.
