The User defined information lists all metadata fields defined by the user on the current
metadata level.
Note
A number of the options in the Metadata Selector in PlanetPress Design 7 are no longer available in
the user interface of PReS Workflow . However, when these settings are made in PReS Design 7,
they will function as expected in PReS Workflow 8.7.1.
AboutData Emulation
Emulations are like filters that can be used to read the data. When you create a document in
PlanetPress Design, you choose a sample data file and specify the emulation to use for the
chosen data. The emulation setting you choose will typically always be associated with that
document. If you choose a CSV (comma separated values) file and specify the corresponding
emulation, for instance, commas encountered in the data will typically be considered as value
separators.
Within PReS Workflow, the same emulation tools as PlanetPress Design are available
throughout your process, using the Data Selector. One notable exception however is that User-
Defined Emulation is not available because it uses PReS Talk code, which is not available
within PReS Workflow Configuration Program.
The emulation that is used in your process can change during the process, and can be different
than the one used in any PlanetPress Design document used in your process. PlanetPress
Design documents use their own emulations, as defined in the document itself from
PlanetPress Design.
Emulations in PReS Workflow:
l Line Printer
l ASCII
l CSV
