Workflow Configuration resource files
Workflow serves as automation tool in a number of distinct products. Some of the tasks that can
be used in a Workflow configuration will work with product-specific resource files:
l
PReS Connect Resources are files created with one of the other Connect modules - the
Designer and DataMapper (see "Connect resources" below).
l
PlanetPress Suite users may use PlanetPress Design documents (see "PlanetPress
Design documents" on page38) in PReS Workflow processes.
l
PrintShop Mail Suite users may use PrintShop Mail documents to create output using
the "PrintShop Mail" on page392 task (see "PrintShop Mail documents" on page43).
These product-specific files need to be sent to (or imported into) Workflow before they can be
used in conjunction with a task. This chapter explains how to do that. Imported files become
visible in the "Configuration Components pane" on page582.
Connect resources
Connect resources are files created with Connect's Designer or DataMapper (see "Connect
resources" above). They are visible in The Configuration Components pane and are added
by using the Send to Workflow option from the PReS Connect Designer's File menu.
The available resources are:
l
Data Mapping Configurations: Data mapping configurations are used with the Execute
Data Mapping task to extract data from the job file.
For each data mapping configuration in the list, the following two items appear within
them:
l
Data Model: Displays the data model used in the data mapping configuration.
Double-click on the data model to view it in your default XML viewer (generally,
Internet Explorer).
l
Sample Data File(s): Displays a list of sample files that are included in the data
mapping configuration. (See also: "Sample Data" on page62.)
