Processes can be deleted, duplicated, renamed, disabled, grouped etc. via the Configuration Com-
ponents pane. For a list of all operations that can be performed on processes in the Configuration Com-
ponents pane, please refer to "Configuration Components pane" on page689.
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220.
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 Con-
figuration 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39, "Importing PlanetPress Design documents" on page43 and "Importing PrintShop Mail
documents" on page46.
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 pro-
cesses you want to import.
3. Select the file, then click Open. The Import Configuration dialog appears displaying all the pro-
cesses and/or process groups, as well as the subprocesses, variables, PlanetPress Design doc-
uments and printer queues in the selected configuration file.
4. In the list, select the components you want to import. The PReS Workflow Configuration program
lets you open and import any of the following:
l
Complete PlanetPress Watch 4 to 6 configurations, as well as PReS Workflow 7 and 8 con-
figurations.
l
Specific processes from Version 6, 7 and 8 configurations, including their local variables.
l
Specific subprocesses from any PReS Workflow 7 and 8 Tools configurations.
l
Specific global variables from PReS Workflow 7 and 8 Tools configurations.
