When you start the PReS Workflow Configuration tool, it either opens the configuration file that is active
on the PlanetPress Workflow service, or starts with no configuration at all, depending on your pref-
erences (see "Configuration Components pane appearance preferences" on page639).
You can always create a new configuration or open an existing one (see "Creating a new configuration"
below and "Open a PReS Workflow configuration file" below).
The following pages provide information on different parts of a PReS Workflow configuration:
l
"About processes and subprocesses" on page104
l
"About Tasks" on page286
l
"About data" on page46
l
"About variables" on page238
l
"Workflow Configuration resource files" on page37
Creating a new configuration
To create a new configuration, choose New from the PReS Workflow Button.
By default, when you create a new configuration, PReS Workflow automatically creates a process that
includes a "Folder Capture" on page304 initial input task and a "Send to Folder" on page563 output
task by default. You can then edit and save your new configuration.
The default input task and output task depend on your preferences ("Default configuration behavior
preferences" on page639).
If the active configuration file is currently opened, and if it includes unsaved modifications, PReS Work-
flow asks you whether to send the configuration to the PlanetPress Watch service before creating the
new configuration. Select the Always send without prompting for confirmation option to auto-
matically send the edited version of the configuration.
If a file that is different from the default configuration file is currently opened, and if it includes unsaved
modifications, PReS Workflow asks you whether to save the configuration before creating the new con-
figuration. Select the Always save without prompting for confirmation option to automatically save
any unsaved work.
Open a PReS Workflow configuration file
