Note
The Quick Access Toolbar buttons cannot be moved or re-ordered. If you wish to re-
order them, you will need to remove all the buttons and re-add them in the desired order.
The PReS Workflow Ribbon
The PReS Workflow Ribbon centralizes commands, organizing them into a set of Tabs, each
tab containing groups of controls. Each tab on the Ribbon displays the commands that are most
relevant to a given feature set. The built-in Ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar contain
commands that are frequently used and convenient to keep close at hand. You can minimize
the Ribbon, and choose the position of the Quick Access Toolbar, as well as the commands it
displays.
l You can minimize the Ribbon by right-clicking on it and selecting Minimize the Ribbon.
l You can also customize the Ribbon's color scheme in the Preferences window.
The PReS Workflow Ribbon has five tabs: the Home tab, the View tab, the Debug tab, the
Tools tab and the Help tab. Each one of these tabs contains a series of groups, each group
holding a number of controls.
l
The Home tab includes the Clipboard, Processes, Variables, Documents and Printer
Queues groups.
l
The Clipboard group contains the typical Windows-based editing controls: Cut,
Copy, Paste, Select All, Delete.
l
The Processes group contains workflow controls, allowing to insert new processes
of any type as well as controls to converts, activate or branches processes.
l
The Variables group contains two controls to insert either a Global variables
available throughout the entire configuration, or Local variables available to the
current process only.
l
The Documents group contains the document controls, used to insert, refresh,
update or delete documents and document instances.
l
The Printer Queues group contains controls to set up printer queues of any type, as
well as replace any existing queues.
