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 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.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
Create Print Content
The Create Print Content task generates a set of printable content items from a template's
Print Context, and saves those content items in the database until output creation is requested.
Input
This task can receive either metadata containing information regarding a valid Record Set, or
JSON data, or a PDF/VTFile.
Metadata
The "Execute Data Mapping" on page587 task and the "Retrieve Items" on page605 task
output metadata containing information regarding a Record Set.
JSON
The Create Print Content task supports two types of JSON:
l A JSON object or an array of JSON objects representing records. If a value in a record
object is a string, it is considered to be a field value. If a value in a record object is a
JSON object, it is considered to be a nested table with detail records. For examples, see
"JSON string samples" on page574.
