You can use the Evaluate Expression section to see the result of any combination of variable
properties (see Variable Properties). To add a new expression, simply right-click in the window
and select Add Expression.
Click in the box on the left to edit the expression and add any variable properties or static text
you want, and click outside of the box to save it. Once saved, the Value column displays the
expression's result.
The contextual (right-click)menu displays the following items when at least one expression is
present:
l Copy Value (only when right-clicking an existing expression):Places the resulting value
of the expression in your clipboard.
l Revalue all: Refreshes the value of all the expressions.
l Add Expression:Creates a new expression.
l Delete Expression (only when right-clicking an existing expression):Remove the
selected expression.
l Clear Expression List: Removes all expressions.
Warning
Deleting an expression or clearing the expression list cannot be undone!
The Message Area Pane
The Messages area is used in Debug mode to indicate the status of your PlanetPress
Workflow process as the sample data file is processed and used to generate output. When your
PlanetPress Workflow runs in Debug mode, the Messages area displays useful processing and
error information.
Messages are displayed in different colors (debug levels)in the Message area.
l Messages in Red are critical and are normally critical errors in the plugin.
l Messages in Orange are warnings.
