Note: You can modify the layout name here. If the name you want exists already, it displays in red and the "OK" button is disabled.

Force unique Sheet Names in the Job

You can rename sheets if necessary (see below in "Sheet Naming"). This option lets you toggle the function on and off. All the sheets are always renamed with this function.

It is a good idea to rename the sheets especially if the layout you wish to duplicate has at least one sheet name that is already in the job. In this case, the option is always enabled.

"Sheet Naming"

Rename Mode

This is where you select the rule that you will use to generate the new sheet names.

Note: Use a rule where the old sheet name and a new number will be used (see below). If the old sheet name already has a number, the new number will overwrite this one. This means that a new number is not added to an existing number.

Note: The "OK" button is dimmed if you generate sheet names that are already in the job. In addition, the inputs in "Start Number" and "Additional Name" are red.

Below you will find an example for the following data for each mode:

•Old sheet names: sheet1, sheet2 sheet3 etc.

•Additional Name: New-

•Start Number: 003

Description of the rename mode:

•"Additional Name" + "Old Name": The text entered in "Additional Name" together with the old sheet name now make up the new sheet name.

Example for new sheet names: New-sheet1, New-sheet2, New-sheet3 etc.

•"Old Name" + "Number": The old sheet name and the new number (see "Start Number") now make up the new sheet name.

Example for new sheet names: sheet003, sheet004, sheet005, etc.

Remember in this case that the new number replaces the number in the old sheet name. In other words, the new number is not simply added on.

•"Additional Name" + "Number": The text entered in "Additional Name" together with the new number (see "Start Number") now make up the new sheet name.

Example for new sheet names: New-003, New-004, New-005 etc.

•"Number" + "Old Name" + "Number": The old sheet name and the new number (see "Start Number") now make up the new sheet name.

Example for new sheet names: 003sheet003, 004sheet004, 005sheet005 etc.

Remember in this case that the new number replaces the number in the old sheet name. In other words, the new number is not simply added on.

"Number" + "Additional Name" + "Number": The text entered in "Additional Name" together with the new number (see "Start Number") now make up the new sheet name.

Example for new sheet names: 003New-003, 004New-004, 005New-005 etc.

Start Number

Enter the start number in this box if the new sheet names are to have new numbers. You can also enter leading zeros (e.g. 003).

The new numbers are generated in ascending order as of this number. The generated numbers have as many digits as the start number you entered. This means that leading zeros may be prefixed (e.g. 004, 005, 006).

Additional Name

This is where you can enter text that can be used for generation of the new sheet names.

The data are filed as an xml file in the gang job pool of Prinect Signa Station.

Because pages or sheets of a job must be selected for submit to ganging, the procedure is as follows:

"All sheets" are submitted if there are sheets with assigned pages in the job. Nothing is submitted if no page is assigned.

The "pages of page lists" are submitted if there are page lists with assigned pages instead of sheets.

"All pages" of the job are submitted if there are no page lists with assigned pages. Nothing is submit­ted if the job has no pages.

The "Scheduling" group allows you to set up a schedule for submitting the layout to the sequence you selected.

Do Not Start Before

Nothing is submitted before the period (date/time) you entered. When the period is reached, the lay­out is submitted automatically to the sequence and the sequence is processed.

Planned Start

This input affects sorting in the queue. Jobs whose planned start is earlier than others are processed first.

Otherwise, no action is triggered, i.e. no layout is submitted and no sequence is processed.

Latest Completion

This input affects sorting in the queue. Jobs whose latest completion is earlier than other jobs are processed first.

Otherwise, no action is triggered, i.e. no layout is submitted and no sequence is processed.

The following is valid for all periods:

•Periods in the future are black. Periods in the past are red.

•A period you entered displays in the layout view, in the column with the sequence to which the period refers.

If there are several periods, "Do Not Start Before" has priority over the other two items.
