Task Properties
Any task you add to your PlanetPress Workflowprocess 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 page730)
Variable Properties
When you edit tasks, you may notice that some of the properties that you can modify have a red
(or more precisely, a maroon) title. This means that the property can be dynamically determined
whenever your process runs, that is to say it will not remain static. This can be extremely useful
