You create Hot Tickets using the Hot Ticket Editor. A Hot Ticket defines how multiple jobs are to be assembled and processed. Unlike a Job Ticket, which can create only a single job, a Hot Ticket can create multiple jobs on demand.

When you input a document to a Hot Ticket input channel, the Hot Ticket duplicates its ticket, then creates a job by filling in the pages from the input document, and automatically submitting it to the Apogee System. A job created from a Hot Ticket does not therefore require any manual Run List editing.

A Hot Ticket always remains active, and automatically processes any documents that are input via the associated input channel. Each of these documents becomes a new job, containing the input document plus a Job Ticket based on the Hot Ticket settings. However, the original Hot Ticket itself does not become part of the job, and remains unchanged.
