Where to find the Data Repository
In case the Repository contains valuable information that must not be lost in case of a hardware
failure, create a backup of the repository.
The Data Repository is located in the following folder:
%ProgramData%\Objectif Lune\PlanetPress Workflow 8\PlanetPress Watch\Repository.
About Documents
A Document is a file sent to PlanetPress Workflow by PlanetPress Design and is used to
produce an output when merged with data. ADocument can be an invoice, a report, a receipt or
anything else, but by itself it is empty and without any variable data.
Document are typically selected in Output Tasks, but can also appear in other tasks that
produce formatted data such as the Digital Action task and the Add Document task.
Documents contain static data such as logos, addresses and graphic formatting, as well as
placeholders for data. Documents can also contain conditions and programming logic. For
more information about PlanetPress Design documents, please see the PlanetPress Design
User Guide.
