Note that Job Infos don't change whilst the task executes. Consequently, the value of the field
that contains the Job Info will be the same in each of the records in the resulting record set.
Using Job Infos in a PlanetPress Design document
Job Infos are transmitted, unless otherwise configured, directly to any PlanetPress Design
document used within a process and can be directly accessed by that document, so they can
be used to transfer complementary information to a document that is not contained within the
data file.
Job Infos sent to the document are global to that document, meaning the values do not change
between data files. This means that if your data file contains multiple data pages for different
clients, your Job Infos cannot be used to send information to the document.
Tip
You can also access global and local variables from your document using the
ExpandString() function. For more information, please see the PlanetPress Design User
Guide.
Standard variables
Standard variables, also known as "system variables", are variables that are created and
managed directly by PReS Workflow. These variables are read-only and cannot be modified.
They provide information about the job, process, and PReS Workflow environment.
