select Close.
If the default configuration file is currently opened, and if it includes unsaved modifications, the
PReS Workflow Configuration program asks you whether to send the configuration to the PReS
Workflow service before exiting. Select the Always send without prompting for confirmation
option to automatically send the edited version of the configuration before exiting.
If the default configuration does not include any active process, the PReS Workflow
Configuration program asks you whether to continue.
When the PReS Workflow Configuration program sends a configuration, the PReS Workflow
service is stopped and restarted, if it is currently running, and the new configuration starts being
applied immediately.
If a file different from the default configuration file is currently opened, and if it includes unsaved
modifications, the PReS Workflow Configuration program asks you whether to save the
configuration before exiting. Select the Always save without prompting for confirmation option
to automatically save any unsaved work before exiting.
About related programs and services
Services are programs that run in the background and automatically perform tasks that often do
not require any user interaction. With the exception of PReS Workflow Configuration, all the
programs used by PReS Workflow are run as service applications. PReS Workflow can thus
use them as required without the need for any user interaction.
Although you can manually start and stop any service running on your computer, most of the
basic services used by the system are started and stopped automatically. In the case of PReS
Workflow and their related services, you typically use a command included in your PReS
Workflow Configuration program to start and stop most services. Opening and closing your
PReS Workflow Configuration program has no effect on these services.
The PReS Workflow Service Console, included in the PReS Workflow Tools ribbon, can be
used to monitor, start and stop PReS Workflow services (See Users and Configurations and
"The PReS Workflow Service Console" on page714).
Services must use an account to be granted the permission to use the system’s resources and
objects. This information is included in the service's configuration and most services use the
