l
PReS Connect Resources are files created with one of the other Connect modules - the
Designer and DataMapper (see "Connect resources" below).
l
PlanetPress Suite users may use PlanetPress Design documents (see "PlanetPress Design doc-
uments" on page41) in PReS Workflow processes.
l
PrintShop Mail Suite users may use PrintShop Mail documents to create output using the
"PrintShop Mail" on page608 task (see "PrintShop Mail documents" on page45).
These product-specific files need to be sent to (or imported into) Workflow before they can be used in
conjunction with a task. This chapter explains how to do that. Imported files become visible in the "Con-
figuration Components pane" on page689.
Connect resources
Connect resources are files created with Connect's Designer or DataMapper (see "Connect
resources" above). They are visible in the "Configuration Components pane" on page689 and are
added by using the Send to Workflow option from the PReS Connect Designer's File menu.
The available resources are:
l
Data Mapping Configurations: Data mapping configurations are used with the "Execute Data
Mapping" on page522 task to extract data from the job file.
For each data mapping configuration in the list, the following two items appear within them:
l
Data Model: Displays the data model used in the data mapping configuration. Double-click
on the data model to view it in your default XML viewer (generally, Internet Explorer).
l
Sample Data File(s): Displays a list of sample files that are included in the data mapping
configuration. (See also: "Sample Data" on page62.)
Tip: Double-click on a sample data file to use it as a sample data file for the active
process.
l
Document Templates: Templates can be used in content creation tasks: "Create Email Content"
on page500, "Create Web Content" on page516 and "Create Print Content" on page513.
l
Print Presets:
l
Job Presets: Job Presets can be used in the "Create Job" on page504 task to filter and
rearrange print content items.
l
Output Presets: Output Presets contain settings for Print output. They can be used in the
"Create Output" on page506 task.
Tip: Drag-and-drop a resource on a process to add the appropriate task.
