Automated workflows are managed in the Settings Editor. An automated workflow bundles a series of pre-set attributes to define job and workflow properties. You can address an automated workflow when you submit one or more PDF or PostScript jobs.
Automated workflowsYou can address an automated workflow at several locations.
Hotfolder: The hotfolder definition has a link to one of the available automated workflows. PDF files submitted via a hotfolder shortcut on the desktop retrieve the properties of an automated workflow or the properties of a JDF ticket. The system administrator can create new hotfolders.
NOTE
You can use the ticket editor to create or modify a JDF ticket.
LPR printing: PDF files can be submitted to the printer with the name of an automated workflow in the LPR command.
PRISMAsync Remote printer driver: You can submit jobs with one of the available automated workflows.
PRISMAremote Manager / PRISMAsync Remote Manager Classic: You can submit jobs with one of the available automated workflows.
Control panel: When you use the [Apply automated workflow] option, you can apply an automated workflow. The job is re-submitted again.
The [Job label] field in the print queue refers to the name of the automated workflow. You can select or filter print jobs according to this job label.
Select jobs with a certain labelNOTE
When you have not selected one of the available automated workflows during the job submission, the printer automatically uses the (default) automated workflow.
The printer has one factory defined automated workflow: (default). The name of this automatic workflow is an empty string and cannot be changed. It is not possible to delete this automated workflow.
The printer uses this automated workflow when there is no other automated workflow selected, for example when the jobs properties are in the job ticket.
IMPORTANT
Do not change the attributes of the factory default automated workflow: (default). This automated workflow is used in case no other automated workflow is addressed and can change the job properties you defined at other locations.
