dragged and dropped over an unknown output task.
Ignoring Tasks and Branches
PlanetPress Workflow lets you ignore individual tasks, branches or conditions.
l When a task is disabled, it is not executed when the process is run in debug mode (see
About the Debug Mode) or by PlanetPress Workflow Service.
l When a branch is disabled, the whole branch including the tasks inside that branch are
ignored and not executed. In the case of conditional branches, this means that the tasks
appearing on the True side are not executed.
A task, branch or condition that was previously disabled out can be re-enabled at any time.
To disable or enable a task or branch:
1.
In the PlanetPress Workflow Process area, click the icon of a task or branch.
2.
From the Debug tab in the Ribbon, click Ignore. If the task or branch was enabled, it is
now disabled, and vice versa.
Resize Rows and Columns of the Process Area
Resize the rows and columns of PlanetPress Workflow Process area in which tasks are located
to better visualize the organization of your process.
To resize rows and columns of the PlanetPress Workflow Tools Process area:
1.
In the PlanetPress Workflow Tools Process area, place your cursor over the separator
line dividing each section of row or column rulers.
2. When the cursor changes appearance, click and drag up or down to resize rows, or left or
right to resize columns.
A dashed line appears as you drag indicating the new separation. The row or column, with all
its tasks, moves accordingly.
