Delete

Delete output tasks simply delete the job files they receive. They are often used after conditions to get rid of those files that did not meet the requirements of the condition.

This task is put into effect in the following example processes:

• HTTP PDF Invoice Request
• HTTP Brochure Request

Note that Capture can only be used with PlanetPress Suite.

Input

Any data file, with optional metadata.

Processing

The data file is either deleted directly or sent to the Windows Recycle Bin.

Task properties

General tab

• Move to recycle bin: Select to send the deleted files to the Windows recycle bin. When this option is not selected, files are deleted permanently.

On Error Tab

For a description of the options on the On Error tab see Using the On Error tab.

Miscellaneous Tab

The Miscellaneous 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.

The tab also provides an option to highlight the task in The Process area with the default color, set in the Preferences (see Colors), or the color selected or defined under Highlight color on this tab.
To revert the selected highlight color to the default color, open this tab, turn the Highlight option off and close the dialog with the OK button; then turn highlighting back on.
Highlighting can also be turned on and off via the task's contextual menu and with the Highlight button on the View ribbon.
