Send to Folder

Send to Folder Output tasks send the files they receive to a local folder. They perform the same function as Send to Folder Action tasks, with the only difference being that in this case, PlanetPress Workflow will not wait for the task to be completed before going on to the next task in the configuration.

Input

Any data file.

Processing and output

The file is saved in the location specified, as the file name specified.

Task properties

General Tab
  • Folder: Enter the path of the folder to which the files are to be saved.
  • File name: Enter the name of the output files generated by this task. To prevent each new file from overwriting the previous one, you should use variable names. As with any variable property box, you can use any combination of text, variables and data selections; see Variable task properties.
  • Concatenate files: If this option is selected, when PlanetPress Workflow tries to save the job file under an existing name, it appends the content of the new job file to that of the existing file, instead of overwriting it.
    In the case of a PDF, this will act like the Merge PDF Files input task, merging the PDF logically.
  • Separator string: This option is used to add a separator string between the content of each file when the Concatenate files option is selected.
On Error Tab
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.
