When a print job is processed by a sequence in the Prinect workflow, not only do you have the processed PDF documents or pages that generally run through the various sequences or are output but you also have additional data that are created or copies of the processed data that are saved. In "Destination", you define how and where these data will be saved. This means that you can save, for example, the PDF documents processed by a sequence also as a side result. After the whole Prinect workflow has finished, you can then understand how a sequence processed the job data.
You can specify the paths for the output files in the various Destination setups. In the path name box, the default setting for the output folder is "$Template". This is a variable that creates a folder with the name of the current SendBookletPDF sequence. The folder is created the moment a new job is created and this SendBookletPDF sequence is assigned to the new job.
"Output is" list box
This is where you define whether the data will be saved as an "intermediate result" or as the "saved result". In the "SendAssembledPDF" sequence, you can save the following data that are created or processed in the sequence as a "result":
•intermediate result
The resulting data are saved but are processed by subsequent sequences and are released for overwriting after they are sent to the next processing stage.
•saved result
The resulting data are not overwritten by subsequent sequences, i.e. these data are filed as the "saved result".
"Pages to be approved" group
"Store" list box
You can choose between the following options if a side result option is set in the "Output is" list box:
•Job internal
The pages files are filed in the "BookletProofs\$Template" folder. You can change this path setting, if required.
•Job external
You can select a folder for filing the pages to be approved in the file system of the Prinect server or you can create a new folder. In this case, copies of these pages are created in addition to the "job internally" pages and filed in the folder you selected.
"Name Rule" parameter
This is where you can select a rule for naming the output files of this sequence. The use of name rules lets you, for example, use certain data of the print job in the file names. The name rules that were defined in "Administration > Resources > Rules for File and Folder Names" display in the list (see Rules for File and Folder Names).
"SendImposedPDF" Sequence Template
The "SendImposedPDF" sequence is designed for a "Remote Proof" workflow. Document pages are imposed to sheet PDF files in such a workflow. If configured accordingly, these files can be sent automatically by e-mail to a customer. They are checked there and given an approval status. Imaging can be run if approval is successful.
You can configure the following options in the "SendImposedPDF" sequence:
•"Accept approved pages only" Option
"Accept approved pages only" Option
When this option is checked and the "Approve Page" option is also checked in the preceding sequences, the PDF files are forwarded only if the pages have "Approved" as their production approval status. Processing stops if you try to forward PDF files that were not approved and an appropriate message displays.
