To reorder selected objects in the Configuration Components pane:
1. Click an object or group.
2.
In the PlanetPress Workflow ribbon, go to the View tab then click Order in the Arrange
group, then select one of the following:
l Up One Level to move the item one level up in the hierarchy. If the item is already
the top object in the category, or within a group, this command has no effect.
l Down One Level to move the item one level down in the hierarchy. If the item is
already the bottom object in the category, or within a group, this command has no
effect.
l To Top Level to move the item to the top level in the hierarchy. This moves the item
to the top of the category or to the top of the group. If the item is already the top
object in the category, or within a group, this command has no effect.
l To Bottom Level to move the item to the bottom level in the hierarchy.
To alphabetically reorder objects in the Configuration Components pane:
l Click the either a category (Processes, Global Variables, Documents, or Printer Queues)
or a group
l In the PlanetPress Workflow ribbon, go to the View tab.
l
In the Arrange group, select Sort by Name.
Grouping Configuration Components
Groups help you organize processes, documents, and printer queues. For example, you may
create the Invoices, Checks and Reports groups in the Processes section and associate
individual processes with each one of these groups.
You group items only within their own category. Thus you can only group processes with other
processes, documents with other documents, and printer queues with other printer queues. In
the documents category, you can only group documents with others of the same version and
type. For example, you can only group documents from PlanetPress Design (files with a PTK
extension) with other PTK files, not with printer-resident documents.
You can also use groups to quickly assign multiple documents to multiple printer queues. By
dragging a group of documents to a printer queue, you assign all the documents in the group to
that queue.
