The Message Area will only display information while running in Debug mode. It does not
display information from other running services, and will not display the log of any process
running in a live configuration (submitted to PReS Workflow Service).
To learn more about debugging a process, refer to "Debugging and error handling" on page81.
The Object Inspector Pane
The Object Inspector displays the properties of the object selected in the Configuration
Components pane (not the Process Area, however). You can edit some of these properties
directly from the Object Inspector, simply by clicking on the property.
To edit properties of processes, documents, and printers in the Object Inspector:
l
In the Configuration Components pane, select a process, a document (either a
document in the Documents category or a document assigned to a printer queue) or a
printer queue. The selected object’s properties appear in the Object Inspector.
l In the Object Inspector, click an editable property.
l Depending on the values that can be entered for the selected property, edit the value by
typing a one or by selecting a new one from the drop-down list.
Note
If you select multiple objects in the Configuration Components window, some properties
that are shared between those objects can be changed in the Object Inspector. Changing
a property changes it for all the selected objects.
The Object Inspector also displays information about the Job File while it is being processed in
Debug mode. Seeing how files change as they travel down a process can provide valuable
debugging information. You can even change some of the job information from the Object
Inspector (such as Job Infos) while in debugging.
