Processes can be deleted, duplicated, renamed, disabled, grouped etc.and their properties,
for scheduling and error handling can be edited (see "Process properties" on page895). This
can all be done via the Configuration Components pane. For a list of all operations that can be
performed on processes in the Configuration Components pane, please refer to "Configuration
Components pane" on page855.
Special workflow types
PReS Workflow supports multiple input and output types, in so many different combinations
that it would be hard to give example processes for each possibility. However, some types of
processes like HTTP and PDF processes will probably be used more often than other types of
processes. You will find a description of each of these special workflow types and at least one
example of an implementation that uses them in the chapter: "Special workflow types" on
page287.
Importing processes
You can import individual processes or groups of processes from another PReS Workflow
configuration file without having to import the contents of the entire configuration file. The PReS
Workflow Configuration tool imports everything necessary to run the processes, including
configured tasks and some configuration components.
Note
Resource files must be imported separately; see "Importing Connect resource files" on page41,
"Importing PlanetPress Design documents" on page46 and "Importing PrintShop Mail documents"
on page50.
To import processes and other components from a configuration file:
1.
From the PReS Workflow Button, choose Import | Configuration Components. The
Import dialog appears.
2.
Navigate to the PReS Workflow configuration file containing the processes or groups of
processes you want to import.
3.
Select the file, then click Open. The Import Configuration dialog appears displaying all
the processes and/or process groups, as well as the subprocesses, variables,
PlanetPress Design documents and printer queues in the selected configuration file.
