Important considerations
l When importing a PReS Workflow configuration file, your PReS Connect and PrintShop
Mail document are not physically imported as they are not part of the configuration file
itself. In order for the documents to be available, you will need to send each document
from PReS Connect and PrintShop Mail (see their respective documentation for details).
l
If you import a PReS Workflow configuration that contains a PReS Fax output task, you
must update the task’s properties and refresh the host name. Otherwise, when PReS
Workflow will attempt to output the file, an error will be generated.
Toggle the Run on Desktop Property
Since PReS Workflow configurations are typically meant to run without user interaction, all of
their processes are set to run in the background by default. In some cases, such as when a
dialog box must appear or user input is required, you may make any process run on your
desktop instead of as a service.
Generally this will happen only when calling a third-party software using the Run External
Program plugin, but is also valid if using a Script that generates a dialog that someone must
click or interact with.
Note
The term "Desktop"is defined as the desktop of the user logged on to the computer
where PReS Workflow is installed. These dialogs cannot be displayed on any other
computer.
To toggle a process’ Run on Desktop property:
1.
Select an active process in the Configuration Components pane.
2.
In the Object Inspector Pane, change the Run on desktop property from False to True,
or vice versa.
