PReS Workflow cannot work without a valid configuration and a PReS Workflow session running on a given
computer can only use one configuration at a time. Once you have created a configuration, you must “send”
it to the PReS Workflow Service. When you do this, your PReS Workflow forgets its previous configuration
and starts executing the tasks included in the new configuration.
Note
A PReS Workflow configuration must be composed of at least one process, but it may include as
many as 512.
For a configuration created in PReS Workflow Configuration to actually be executed by PReS Workflow, it
must be sent to its PReS Workflow service.
See the following pages for information on different parts of PReS Workflow Configuration:
l For information about Processes and Subprocesses, see "About Processes and Subprocesses" on
page70.
l For information about Global Variables, see "Working With Variables" on page534.
Create a New Configuration
When you start PReS Workflow, it always opens the configuration file that is active on the PlanetPress
Watch service. If you create a new configuration, PReS Workflow automatically creates a process that
includes a "Folder Capture" on page187 initial input task and a "Send to Folder" on page531 output task.
You can then edit and save your new configuration.
To create a new configuration, chooseNew from the PReS button.
If the active watch file is currently opened, and if it includes unsaved modifications, PReS Workflow 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 automatically send the
edited version of the configuration.
If a file 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
