Note
A PReS Workflow configuration must be composed of at least one process, but it may
include as many as 512.
PReS Workflow cannot work without a valid configuration, and a PReS Workflow session
running on a given computer can only use one configuration at a time.
For a configuration created in the PReS Workflow Configuration tool to actually be executed by
PReS Workflow, it must be sent to the PReS Workflow Service. When you do this, your PReS
Workflow forgets its previous configuration and starts executing the tasks included in the new
configuration.
The following pages provide information on different parts of a PReS Workflow configuration:
l "About processes and subprocesses" on page107
l "About Tasks" on page197
l "About data" on page43
l "About variables" on page511
l "Workflow Configuration resource files" on page34
Creating a new configuration
When you start the PReS Workflow Configuration tool, it always opens the configuration file
that is active on the PlanetPress Workflow service. If you create a new configuration, PReS
Workflow automatically creates a process that includes a "Folder Capture" on page213 initial
input task and a "Send to Folder" on page509 output task. You can then edit and save your
new configuration.
To create a new configuration, choose New from the PReS Workflow Button.
If the active configuration file is currently opened, and if it includes unsaved modifications,
PReS Workflow asks you whether to send the configuration to the PlanetPress Watch service
before creating the new configuration. Select the Always send without prompting for
confirmation option to automatically send the edited version of the configuration.
