Workflow Trouble Handling

The Trouble Handling tab is used to tell PAS what to do in case there are any errors during processing. The error is packaged into a single zip file containing any file and error information needed for debugging. Qoppa PAS is then able to save or send the file with a notification message when there are any errors in processing.
