Note
You cannot use the Delete option to remove an input or output task, but you can right-click on them
and click Cut instead. This replaces the task with an unknown task(see Unknown Tasks)
To delete the path below a branch crossing (instead of the path to the right of the branch):
l Press Shift+CTRL+Delete.
l
From the right-click menu, choose Edit | Delete| Delete Below the Branch.
Task Properties Dialog
Any task you add to your PlanetPress Workflow process must be configured using its Properties dialog box.
Each task's Properties Dialog will give you the options to configure that specific, individual task. Properties
of one task do not directly affect the properties of another task, however there are some software preferences
that may affect tasks in one way or another (see "Preferences" on page621).
l Each task has its own set of tabs available, though some tabs are common to most tasks.
l
Most tasks have the Generaltab which lets you configure the main task properties for that specific
task.
l
All tasks except for the InputErrorBin, Run Script, Open XLSTand Comment tasks have an On
Error tab that lets you manage errors generated by the task.
l
All initial Input tasks have the Othertab which lists job infos and lets you back up the job file.
The "On Error"tab that is common to almost all tasks contain the following options:
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:
l Ignore:The task is ignored as if it did not exist, and the job file is passed on to the next task in
the process.
