Editing a process
Designing a process is done by dragging tasks from the Plug-In Bar onto the process in the
Process area. Each task then needs to be configured via the Task properties dialog (see
"About Tasks" on page300). For a list of all operations you can perform on tasks in the Process
area, please refer to "The Process area" on page873.
Processes can be deleted, duplicated, renamed, disabled, grouped etc. 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 page817.
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
page278.
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
page40, "Importing PlanetPress Design documents" on page45 and "Importing
PrintShop Mail documents" on page49.
To import processes and other components from a configuration file:
1.
From the PReS Workflow Button, choose Import | Configuration Components. The
Import dialog appears.
