Apogee Help : Managing Jobs : Working with Jobs in the Job List : Enabling/Disabling Input Channels
Enabling/Disabling Input Channels
By default, all input channels are enabled when they are first created. However, you may want to disable them from time to time - to prevent other users inputting documents, or to improve system performance.
You can enable or disable input channels from the Hot Tickets List (for Hot Tickets which will be used to create jobs) or from the Jobs List (for jobs which have already been created).
To disable an input channel 
1 Select a Hot Ticket in the Hot Ticket List, or select a job in the Job List.
2 Choose Control > Disable Inputs.
The inputs for this job are closed. Apogee will no longer accept document input on this channel. Any documents which are input will be queued up, pending reactivation of the channel.
You will see that the disabled job or Hot Ticket now has a “disabled input” job icon:
To enable an input channel 
1 Select a disabled Hot Ticket in the Hot Ticket List, or a disabled job in the Job List.
Disabled jobs and Hot Tickets Have a “disabled input” job icon:
2 Choose Control > Enable Inputs.
The job icon changes to indicate that the inputs have been successfully opened.
To automatically enable or disable an input channel 
1 Create a new Job Ticket/Hot Ticket, or context-click a job in the Job List and select Edit Job from the context menu.
2 Select the Options tab.
3 To disable an input channel, select the ‘Deactivate input when’ check box, then click open the associated list box and select one of the available options, as described in “Input Channels”.
4 To enable an input channel, clear the ‘Deactivate input when’ check box.
