If a file that is different from the default configuration file is currently opened, and if it includes
unsaved modifications, PReS Workflow asks you whether to save the configuration before
creating the new configuration. Select the Always save without prompting for confirmation
option to automatically save any unsaved work.
Open a PReS Workflow configuration file
While the PReS Workflow Configuration tool always loads the current configuration, you may
sometimes need to open a configuration file that is not the current one, for example to load a
previous backup or a configuration file from another computer. To do that:
1.
From the PReS Workflow button, choose Open. The Open dialog box appears.
2.
Navigate to the configuration file you want to open, select it and click Open.
If the currently opened configuration file includes unsaved modifications, the PReS Workflow
Configuration program asks you whether to send the configuration to the PReS
Workflowservice before opening the selected configuration. Select the Always send without
prompting for confirmation option to automatically send the edited version of the
configuration to the PReS Workflow Service before opening any other configuration file (See
"Saving and sending a Workflow Configuration" on page119).
Note
You can also open a configuration file from a previous version of PReS Workflow by
changing the File Type selector to the desired version (for example, .pw6 for PlanetPress
Watch /Server configurations from Version 6)
Saving and sending a Workflow Configuration
The core of the PReS Suite workflow tools is the PReS Watch service which, once started,
constantly runs in the background to perform the tasks included in its current configuration file.
The PReS Workflow Configuration tool lets you create, edit, save and send configuration files.
As you are working on your configuration, you can save that configuration file as a file on your
local hard drive.
Saving a configuration file never replaces the current PReS Watch service configuration. To do
this, you must use the Send Configuration command.
