2. Locate the task you want to add to your process. You can navigate between the different
task categories by clicking the icons at the bottom of the Plug-in Bar.
3. Using your mouse, click and drag the task in your process at the place you want to insert
it.
4. Depending on where you place your mouse, you may see that you can replace or insert
existing tasks, or not place it at that location at all.
5. When you drop the task in the desired location, a dialog box containing the available task
properties is displayed.
6. Set the task properties as required and click OK to close the dialog box.
There are a few things to keep in mind when dropping tasks:
l You can insert input tasks anywhere in the process except in output task locations.
l When you add an output task, a new branch leading to that new task is added above the
selected task or branch, except when replacing an existing output task.
l Dropping a task on top of another one replaces it.
l Dropping a task between two tasks will insert it at that location.
l You cannot add a task above the initial input task of a process, since new tasks are
always added above a selected task or branch.
Adding Branches
The PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program offers two different commands when it
comes to adding new branches to a process:
You can add a new branch, by dragging and dropping a branch, from the Process Logic
category of the Plug-in Bar, into your process. Branches can be added using the Adding Tasks
method.
You can add a new branch that contains all of the tasks below the point where you insert the
branch. To do this, right-click on the first task that you want to include in the branch, and select
Branch From Here.... An unknown task will be created as an output below the branch.
Edit a Task
To edit a task, you simply need to access and change its properties. You may even do it while
your process is in Debug mode (See About the Debug Mode).
