Show Page List Assignment View

In the "show page list assignment view", both "page view" and "page list view" are shown side by side. This view lets you assign pages in a fast and easy-to-follow way using drag-and-drop.

"Unassigned" displays when a job is loaded or when new pages that are not assigned automatically are added to the job. A selection of all incomplete and new page lists also opens.

This makes it easier for the user to add and assign pages.

Tell substituted pages from unassigned pages

You can distinguish pages that were already assigned once from unassigned pages. Pages that were already assigned and removed again display below "Removed" in the thumbnail or list view.

Show Thumbnails

You will find functions for "grouping" at the top of the window if "Show Thumbnails" is enabled. This gives you the option of grouping the pages by their functions. Multiple selection is possible.

Assign Pages from Gang Pool

Pages View Mode

You can drag-and-drop pages from source jobs in the "Gang Job" window to thumbnails in the page list view and assign them.

The pages are copied from the source job and assigned consecutively to the position they are pasted in the current job (target job).

In the source job, the current job is entered as the gang job, in the target job the source job is entered.

After the pages are assigned, their files are removed from the list of files in the folder for gang jobs and copied to the "Work&Done" folder.

Note: Appropriate messages are issued if the source jobs cannot open, which is required for copying the pages. Likewise, errors that occur when moving the items from the gang pool to the "Work&Done" folder are also indicated.

Pages are assigned to selected page list positions when you drag them from a source job or the pages view to these positions.

If the number of source pages is less than the number of selected positions, the pages from the source job are assigned several times in turn.

Example:

Number of source pages = 2

Number of selected positions = 1-10

Result: Each source page is assigned five times as follows:

Source page 1 to position 1+3+5+7+9

Source page 2 to position 2+4+6+8+10
