Comments Tab
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 OKbutton, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
OL Connect tasks
OL Connect tasks are available in PReS Workflow 8.0 and up. They are used specifically to
communicate with the Server component of PlanetPress Connect or PReS Connect and for
such purposes as creating record sets, generating contents and generating output.
All In One
The All In One task extracts data from the job file, merges the data with a Connect Designer
template, and creates print output. (See also: "OL Connect print jobs" on page92.)
This task is a combination of 4 different OL Connect tasks within a single one. This makes
creating Print content easier and faster, as the task is optimized for this specific purpose. It
exchanges less data with the server than the separate plugins do and it has multi-threading
support: it can produce the data set and content items in parallel.
The task is build with 3 tabs that represent the 3 main steps of the creation of a Print Output:
Data Mapping, Content Creation and Output Creation.
In a Print process built with separate plugins, the Job Creation task comes between Content
Creation and Output Creation. With the All In One, Job Creation is implied and equivalent to a
single created job; it isn't possible to use a Job Preset.
Tip
If you do need to use a Job Preset, set the All-In-One’s Output Creation options to None. Add the
Job Creation and Output Creation tasks to the process after the All-In-One.
This task can be added as an Action task (see "Action Tasks" on page251) or as an Output
task (see "Output Tasks" on page494). Adding it as an Action task enables the process or
