In the "Names" tab, you can set custom names as defaults in certain cases. These are then used by default by Prinect Signa Station.
In addition, it's also possible to modify and/or define default names and attributes.
In the "Name" column, double-click the row with the index you want to change and type the new name of that layer.

The procedure for showing layers is described in View Properties and Enable/Disable Layers in the Graphic Window chapter.
You can overwrite each of the default names for example, for "Versioning". More details can be found in Level.
In Sheetfed Press
You can overwrite each of the default terms "Front", "Back", "Single-sided", "Work-and-turn" and "Work-and-tumble". The terms are used in the graphic window and for output.
The names are also written to the JDF in the JDF workflow.
In Web Press
You can overwrite each of the default terms "Top", "Bottom", "Work-and-turn" and "Work-and-tumble". The terms are used in the graphic window and for output.
The names are also written to the JDF in the JDF workflow.
Placeholders
In the list box, you can select placeholders that are to be part of a file name. The placeholders you selected are used when you click the "Insert placeholder" button. Placeholders "Job Number" and "Job Name" are set by default. When you save your job, the placeholders are replaced as specified in the job, and the name is set automatically.
The names are evaluated in the JDF workflow with the Prepress Manager.
More details can be found in Full Job Name in the Job Inspector.
•"Create a generic product part name"
An abstract product part name (TP01, TP02, etc.) is created in the output file instead of the product part name if you enable this option.
This option has no effect in the JDF workflow with the Prepress Manager.
You can insert additional information on the sheet with the help of freely configurable replacers. You can define general, job-specific replacers (features) that can then be filled with data in the "Attributes" tab in the "Job" step. You can define up to 99 freely configurable replacers.
You should define the replacers before you open a job. When you open a job, the replacers are then defined in the "Job" step.
See Job (Attributes) for details on what to do next.
This option has been added especially for the interactive variant of the "Versioning" workflow.
Characters used for each version in the variant name
When you create press sheet variants with different versions, their names can be very long, something which may cause errors during further processing.
With this setting, you can define the number of characters of the version names that will be used to create the variant name.
In Prinect Signa Station, the variant name is used in the view and for placing marks, and it is also written to the JDF for PtR output.
The following settings are possible:
•"1-5" = constant number of characters that will be taken from the version names
•"In full" = all original version names are kept as the basis.
•"Optimal Shortening" = automatic feature that compares all the current version names and shortens them uniformly so that the names are still unique.
Use 'Version Description' for Name
The version name is often not very informative. You can use the version description instead of the version name for displaying the file because this version description that is also available in parallel in most cases is not subject to the constraints that are valid for the version name.
However, the option works only if the version descriptions can be used for unique identification. This means that all version descriptions must be
•available
and
•different.
