Note
For the list of operations you can perform on tasks in a process via the Process area, please refer to
"The Process area" on page678.
Task properties
Any task you add to your PReS Workflow process must be configured using its Properties
dialog. It appears as soon as you add a task to a process, or when you double-click on a task.
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635).
Each task has its own set of tabs available, though some tabs are common to most tasks.
l
Most tasks have the General tab which lets you configure the main task properties for that
specific task.
l
All tasks except for the InputErrorBin, Run Script, Open XLST and Comment tasks
have an On Error tab that lets you manage errors generated by the task. For a description
of the options that it contains, see "Using the On Error tab" on page82.
The error management system (the On error tab and the Error Bin Input task), however,
is only triggered when there is an error within the task functionality - that is, a plugin error.
These kinds of errors are triggered if the plugin cannot communicate with a service,
another task, if the plugin crashes, etc.
l
All initial Input tasks have the Other tab which lists Job Infos (see "Job Info variables" on
page512) and lets you back up the job file (see "Job file" on page45).
l
The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a text area (Task comments)that
lets you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is
closed with the OKbutton, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Some Action, Create Content and Output tasks let you select a resource file to use with the
task; for more information see "Selecting a resource file in task properties" on page685.
