secondary branch is used for the main branch. If the secondary branch includes a secondary
input task or a Change Emulation action task, then the last emulation selected in the secondary
branch will be the one used for the main branch.
l
Backup local variables: Select if you want PReS Workflow to use identical copies of the local
variables for the main and secondary branches. When this option is not selected, the local vari-
ables that reach the output task located at the end of the secondary branch are used for the main
branch. Any modification performed on the secondary branch thus has an impact on the main
branch.
In case of the failure of a Branch task (the branch itself, not the other tasks contained within), by
default the process will ignore the branch and simply go down the main trunk. You can overwrite this in
the On Error tab.
Miscellaneous Tab
The Miscellaneous tab is common to all tasks.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in the Pro-
cess area.
Comment
Comments can be used to clarify your process either for yourself or others, to explain branches and
scripts, or add information for anyone editing the configuration in the future.
Comments do not open, modify or otherwise process the job file in any way, and are simply ignored at
run-time. They do not have an On Error tab because of this, since they cannot generate an error in any
situation.
Comments have a single property in the General tab, which is the box where you enter the comment
itself. This box does not process variables (it is not a "variable property"), since that would be of no use
at run-time.
File Count
File Count tasks check if a target folder contains a specified number of files. They can be used as
Condition task or as Input task.
When used as Input task, the task triggers the process to run only when the condition is true. As long as
the condition is false, it does nothing (except log any errors).
Setting the file count to 0 allows to take action, for example, when a scheduled process is expected to
have files but it doesn't.
