Configure automated workflows

With automated workflows you have the opportunity to assign properties to jobs addressed to a particular print queue. For example for jobs for a specific customer, for jobs that are submitted from a specific application, or for jobs that have the same job properties.

There is one default automated workflow. You can create custom automated workflows.
