The Ticket Editor
Efficient and complete job ticketing capabilities are at the heart of Apogee. You can import job tickets (via ), retrieve them from a ticket database (ticket templates), or create new ones of your own.
Ticket Editing is an interactive, flexible process that lets you define a complete - including normalizing, , PDF , , rendering, and integrated proofing.
Apogee’s Production Plan introduces a multi-flow concept, allowing you to define several (both input and output) in a single Ticket.
You can access the Ticket Editor from any of the Management windows (see
“Creating or Editing a Ticket”).
There are two types of Tickets: and Hot Tickets. The Ticket Editor allows you to create and edit both types. However, when you create or edit a Hot Ticket, you do not need to specify page and result options. This is because:
•Hot Tickets do not require to specify which pages make up the job: The Run List is generated automatically, based on the number of pages in the input document.
•Hot Tickets are never associated with the results of a single job: Hot Tickets are used to generate multiple jobs.
The jobs that are created using these Tickets appear in the Jobs List.
Apogee also includes a dedicated module for creating an imposition which is called Apogee Impose. This module is accessed from the Products tab of the Ticket Editors. Refer to
“Working with Apogee Impose” for more information on the main imposition windows.
