main branch. Note that if the secondary branch ends with a Delete output task, the main
branch will receive the job file in the state it was just before the delete. If the secondary
branch includes a splitter task, the main branch will receive the last part of the job file (as
split by the splitter task). If the secondary branch ends with a PReS Fax or PReS Image
output task, the main branch will receive a PostScript file.
l
Backup job information: Select if you want PReS Workflow to use identical copies of
the job file information for the main and secondary branches. When this option is not
selected, the job file information that reaches the output task located at the end of the
secondary branch is used for the main branch. Any modification performed on the
secondary branch thus has an impact on the main branch.
l
Backup emulation: Select if you want PReS Workflow to use the emulation selected
when the job file reaches the secondary branch for the main branch as well. When this
option is not selected, the emulation selected when the job file reaches the output task
located at the end of the secondary branch is used for the main branch. If the secondary
branch includes a secondary input task or a Change Emulation action task, then the last
emulation selected in the secondary branch will be the one used for the main branch.
l
Backup local variables: Select if you want PReS Workflow to use identical copies of the
local variables for the main and secondary branches. When this option is not selected, the
local variables that reach the output task located at the end of the secondary branch are
used for the main branch. Any modification performed on the secondary branch thus has
an impact on the main branch.
In case of the failure of a Branch task (the branch itself, not the other tasks contained within),
by default the process will ignore the branch and simply go down the main trunk. You can
overwrite this in the On Error tab.
Miscellaneous Tab
The Miscellaneous tab is common to all tasks.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
Comment
Comments can be used to clarify your process either for yourself or others, to explain branches
and scripts, or add information for anyone editing the configuration in the future.
