To make the user interface clearer and easier-to-follow, all preferences possible that can be seen, expanded or collapsed in the user interface or are required only for certain workflows were moved to the "User Interface" tab.
This functionality is designed to make configuration of the user interface even more user-friendly.
There are a number of parameter sets showing useful combinations for certain workflows. In particular, the "Big Jobs" parameter set ought to be included when PDF-VT files are used. However, these preferences are only suggestions and do not have to be selected. You can create a new parameter set by clicking "Create new parameter set" at the bottom of the tab. You can then modify this parameter set as required
Controls can be used in the user interface when the relevant items are enabled in the "visible" column.
More extensive controls display in the user interface when the relevant items are enabled in the "expanded" column. You can save space and only the header is shown if they are disabled. If necessary, you can expand the control manually.
Configurable elements in the user interface
Job Details in Product Part

Default for JDF and job ticket (third-party workflow)
See Default for JDF and job ticket (third-party workflow) for a description of the function.
A "Dark" column displays in the "Job" step in the "Colors" tab.
You can define the "darkest color" manually in the Job Inspector when this option is enabled.
Note: This setting does not affect the JDF workflow with the Prepress Manager because the Prepress Manager sets the darkest color.
Column for 'Usage'
The "Usage" column displays in the "Job" step in the "Colors" tab.
When you set a usage, you can manually define how spot colors will be handled.
The spot color is ignored for combi marks and also in the workflow with "Allow Spot Colors to BCMY". Further details can be found in Usage.
Note: This setting is used in the JDF workflow with the Prinect Prepress Manager.
See "Background Colors".
List View
It is possible to hide the list window permanently. As a result, the graphic window is bigger height wise.
If the list window is hidden, you can show it again only by enabling it in these preferences.
The functions related to lenticular printing display in the "Assembly Block Inspector > Attributes".
More details can be found in Lenticular Printing Settings .
Show check items for multiple web
You can enter different web widths for multiple webs in the "Plates" step. See Multiple Web Widths.
This is a global setting that is not applied immediately to an open job. The function is applied only when you reopen the job.

You can set a 1up ID in "Automatically Placed Print Control Marks" in the "Product Part" step.
Undo for product parts
In the "Product Part" step, the "Edit > Undo 'product part changed'" menu command is disabled. This means that you no longer can use Ctrl+z or the menu command to restore a previous state after changes are made to the product part. Especially in the case of large jobs with versions, this does not burden memory and in turn speeds up processing.
3D Visualization of Binding
There is no longer 3D visualization in the "Schemes" step > "All Folding Sheets" (= reduces load placed on memory). If 3D visualization is enabled, you can also select whether the view will display by default or only when triggered by the user. More details can be found in 3D Visualization of Binding.

The "Reports > Attributes for Report Handling > Reports with Preview" and "Automatic Reports for JDF Output" preferences are disabled. The image files of the press sheets are then no longer written to the reports (see Attributes for Report Handling).
Geometry Data for Sheet Optimization
You can edit the geometry data (margins) in the "Optimization" step. When this parameter displays, you can select whether the group will display expanded or collapsed by default.
Cost Data for Sheet Optimization
