Task Properties dialog

Any task you add to your PReS Workflow process must be configured using its Properties dialog. It appears as soon as you add a task to a process, or when you double-click on a task.
Each task's Properties dialog will give you the options to configure that specific, individual task. Properties of one task do not directly affect the properties of another task, however there are some software preferences that may affect tasks in one way or another (see Preferences).

Each task has its own set of tabs available, though some tabs are common to most tasks.

• Most tasks have the General tab which lets you configure the main task properties for that specific task.
• All tasks except for the InputErrorBin, Run Script, Open XLST and Comment tasks have an On Error tab that lets you manage errors generated by the task. For a description of the options that it contains, see Using the On Error tab.
  The error management system (the On error tab and the Error Bin Input task), however, is only triggered when there is an error within the task functionality - that is, a plugin error. These kinds of errors are triggered if the plugin cannot communicate with a service, another task, if the plugin crashes, etc.
• All initial Input tasks have the Other tab which lists Job Infos (see Job Info variables) and lets you back up the job file (see Job file).
• 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.

For more information about both common properties and properties that are specific to a certain task, see Task properties.
