About Configurations
PReS Workflow configuration files are defined as a set of processes, subprocesses, variables,
documents and printer queues, that work together within PReS Workflow Service.
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80.
l For information about Global Variables, see "Working With Variables" on page597.
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203 initial input task and a "Send to
Folder" on page594 output task. You can then edit and save your new configuration.
To create a new configuration, chooseNew from the PReS button.
