Saving and sending a Workflow Configuration
The core of the PReS Suite workflow tools is the PReS Watch service which, once started,
constantly runs in the background to perform the tasks included in its current configuration file.
The PReS Workflow Configuration tool lets you create, edit, save and send configuration files.
As you are working on your configuration, you can save that configuration file as a file on your
local hard drive.
Saving a configuration file never replaces the current PReS Watch service configuration. To do
this, you must use the Send Configuration command.
When the PReS Workflow Configuration program sends a configuration, the PReS Workflow
service is stopped and restarted, if it is currently running, and the new configuration starts being
applied immediately.
Saving a configuration
Files created and edited using PReS Workflow can be saved as PReS Workflow configuration
files anywhere on your computer or even a network location.
To save the current configuration:
l
From the PReS button, choose Save.
l If you were editing the current PlanetPress Watch service configuration or if you were
editing a new configuration file, you are prompted with the Save As dialog instead.
To save the current configuration under a new name:
l
From the PReS button, choose Save As.
l Browse to the location where you wanted to save the file, enter the new name of the
configuration in the File name box and click Save.
Sending a configuration
PReS Workflow Configuration saves entire configurations in the form of a single file. Like any
other file, configuration files may be saved and reopened, as well as renamed as desired.
Simply saving a configuration has no effect on the configuration actually used by the PReS
