Note: The result of a Retrieve Items task cannot be used with a Job Creation Preset. Use the IDs
in the metadata instead (see the Properties below).
Processing
The task prepares the content items or content sets for printing, tagging them as printable. Only the con-
tent items that are part of the job will generate output.
Output
The task outputs a Print Job ready to be sent to the "Create Output" on the next page task for printing.
Task properties
General Tab
l
Job Preset file: Select which Job Preset to use to generate the job. To be used in this dialog, a
preset must have been sent to PReS Workflow using the Package File function in PReS Connect.
l
Default: The IDs in the Metadata are used instead of a job preset file. Select this option if
the Print Content Set is the result of the "Retrieve Items" on page537 task.
l
"%o": Select to use a dynamic preset name. Click on %o to change the expression that
determines the name of the preset to use. The preset name must be available in the Con-
nect Resources (see "Connect resources" on page38).
l
Preset Names: Select the appropriate preset to generate output. Listed are the Job Pre-
sets that are present in the Connect Resources (see "Connect resources" on page38).
l
Unselect unused Content Items in metadata: When this option is checked, only Content Items
that were actually included in the Job are set to "selected" in the Metadata (see "Metadata" on
page66).
l
Runtime Parameters: The Runtime Parameters defined in the selected Job Creation Preset are
displayed and their values can be edited here. Right-click the field to open the contextual menu
that allows to select variables, data and lookup functions (see "Data selections" on page48).
Note that it is not possible to change a parameter's type here; that can only be set in the Job
Creation Preset itself.
At runtime, Workflow passes the parameter values as strings, and the type defined in the Job
Creation Preset will be used to try and parse the input parameter value. In order to make this
work:
o
Boolean values need to be entered as either “true” or “false”. (When the comparison actu-
ally occurs, it will be a full Boolean comparison. Thus it can compare this runtime para-
meter with Boolean data values that are stored as 0/1 in data fields.)
