Resize Rows and Columns of the Process Area
Resize the rows and columns of PReS Workflow Process area in which tasks are located to
better visualize the organization of your process.
To resize rows and columns of the PReS Workflow Tools Process area:
1.
In the PReS Workflow Tools Process area, place your cursor over the separator line
dividing each section of row or column rulers.
2. When the cursor changes appearance, click and drag up or down to resize rows, or left or
right to resize columns.
A dashed line appears as you drag indicating the new separation. The row or column, with all
its tasks, moves accordingly.
Selecting Documents in Tasks Links
The Properties dialog box of some action and output tasks let you select documents.
Depending on where the document selection list appears you will have access to all the
documents or only the documents installed on a printer queue.
In most cases, you have three options:
l You can choose not to use any document (only in certain cases). This means no
document is merged with the data and the job file is sent as is.
l You can choose a specific document from the list of installed documents. The document
is merged with the data to generate output.
l You can choose a variable document (see below)
Variable Document Name
The Variable Document feature is used to dynamically determine which document is merged
with the data in your output. The document name can come from any of the variable properties
(see Variable Properties).
Note
If the data contains an extension, it will be replaced by .ptk.
