To select the entire grid, use the Select All button located below the grid. To deselect the entire
grid, use the Clear All button located below the grid.
Caution: "Toggle" means turn on when it's off and vice versa, when selecting multiple blocks in
one command. This means if you select a certain number of blocks in the Time Grid and then use
the shift+click or drag method, blocks that are on will turn off.
Changes made to the system time can have adverse effects on the processes managed by PReS Work-
flow. When changing from daylight saving time to standard time, for example, if PReS Workflow starts a
given process at 2:00 AM, and if the system time is then taken back to 1:00AM, the application will start
a new instance of the same process when the system time reaches 2:00 AM for a second time. So,
when you manually change the system time, be aware that it may have an effect on PReS Workflow
and its processes. And for those cases when you know the system time will change automatically, you
may consider creating special schedules.
Information tab
The Information tab lets you enter information that is not critical to your process but may help others
(or yourself in the future) to understand what the process does. It offers two boxes:
l
Description: A one-line box to give a title or short description to your process.
l
Comments: A multi-line box to give more detailed information, for example the file format expec-
ted, explanation of the system in general.
On Error Tab
A process’s On Error tab specifies the default values for error handling of all of the tasks in that pro-
cess.
When a task has its own error handling settings, those settings overwrite the process's default error
handling settings. The Set All Tasks button resets the On Error properties of all the tasks included in
the current process to the On Error properties of the process itself.
All other options in the On Error tab of the Process Properties dialog are the same as in the On Error
tab in the Task Properties dialogs; see "Using the On Error tab" on page82.
About branches and conditions
While some processes can simply start with an input task, manipulate the data with a few action tasks
and finish with an output task, in some cases you may want to have more control over the flow of your
process. For example, you may want multiple outputs, such as printing to multiple printers as well as
generating a PDF and emailing it. To do this, you will need branches. You may also want to detect cer-
tain criteria in your data and act differently depending on that data, such as sending an email only when
