Attribution Rules (filtering information from the PPF/CIP file)

What can I use attribution for?

•Add missing attributes in the PPF/CIP file:

Some prepress systems write information such as job name and sheet name in the PPF/CIP file name and this is sometimes reproduced insufficiently in the PPF attributes of the PPF/CIP file. In order to filter the information from the PPF/CIP file name, it is split into segments called tokens. The defined tokens are applied one after the other. In other words, information is sys­tematically extracted from the PPF/CIP file name and then assigned a PPF/CIP attribute. The attributes generated from the PPF/CIP file name are then displayed in the job list / sheet list.

The screenshot below shows the job list/sheet list with two jobs in "Job Combiner". However, these are both the same job/sheet. The PPF/CIP file has been processed once without an attri­bution rule and once with an attribution rule.
