When storing the message or ID, if they are stored in a jobinfo they will be available in any
error handling process where errors are being forwarded. If your process continues after the
error, the contents of the variables selected in this window will be available to the rest of your
process, or as long as they are not overwritten.
Common Errors
Though some error messages are specific to a task in particular, others may apply to any and
all tasks because they are related more to the system than to PReS itself. Some examples
would be W3813, W3830, W3991, W4005. These correspond to issues such as not having any
space to write files, permission errors on folders or files, etc.
Comments Tab
The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a single text area (Task comments)that
lets you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed
with the OKbutton, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Output Tasks
Output tasks are exits from PReS Workflow processes. They can be used to send data to
specific devices, such as printers, applications, such as email software, or locations, such as
folders. A single process can include multiple branches, each one terminated by an output task,
and so a single process may generate output via a variety of output tasks.
Typically, whenever PReS Workflow sends an output task to an output device, application or
location, it considers its job finished. When it sends data to a printer, for example, it does not
wait for the document to have finished printing to consider its job done. In the same fashion, an
email output task is completed once PReS Workflow has sent its message to the email
software, not when the email has actually been sent from the software. And in the case of a
