Send to Workflow dialog

The Send to Workflow dialog sends selected templates, data mapping configurations and Print Presets to the PlanetPress Workflow server.

  • Configurations: Initially this list contains the Connect template and data mapping configuration that are currently open, and the Job Creation Preset and Output Creation Preset that were last modified.

    • Browse: This button opens the Select Files dialog that lets you add one or more templates, data mapping configurations and Print Presets to the list.

      Tip: Actually, the path may not begin with 'C:\Users', as this is language-dependent. On a French system, for example, it would be 'C:\Utilisateurs'.

      Type %userprofile% in a Windows File Explorer and press Enter to open the actual current user's home directory.

    • There are two ways to make it easier to find the file that you need:

      • The Show drop-down list lets you select the type of preset that you want to open.

      • In the Filter field, you can enter (part of) a preset name to filter the list for matching presets.

      Select Preset: Opens the Select Preset dialog. This dialog lists all Print Presets found in the folder: C:\Users\[UserName]\Connect\workspace\configurations. Where [username] is replaced by the appropriate Windows user name.Select one or more Print Presets to add them to the list of configurations in the Send to Workflow dialog.

    • Delete: Deletes the selected file from the list of files to send.

  • Workflow Server: Use the drop-down to select where to send the files. This lists all the detected PlanetPress Workflow installations detected on the network.

    Note: If Workflow is installed on another computer, Workflow must be configured to accept files coming from another host (via the Access Manager).
    The Messenger service, which is used for inter-module communication, uses ports 5863/5864 by default (see Firewall/Port considerations).

  • Send:Sends all selected Connect files to the selected Workflow Server. You can use the topmost checkbox to select all of the listed files at once.

  • Cancel: Click this button to close the dialog without sending files to Workflow.
