l
Click on the task or branch you want to delete, and press the Delete (or "Del")key on your
keyboard.
l
Right-click on the task or branch you want to delete, and select Delete from the menu.
When you remove a branch, all the tasks located in that branch are also deleted. When you
delete a task, only that task is deleted.
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 page677).
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.
