You can approve or reject any job item which has a Waiting for Soft Approval status (icon on the left) in the Job List or the Job Layout panes. You can also approve any which was previously rejected (icon on the right).
1 Select the Preview window which contains the image you want to assess.
2 Select and analyze the raster data.
This may be a single page/flat, several pages/flats, or the entire job.
3 If the results are satisfactory, click the Approve tool (left icon): Otherwise, click the Reject tool (right icon).
NOTE: These icons are disabled if no soft proof has been requested.
4 If you select Approve, the selected results are continued.
If you return to the Jobs window, you will see that these results are no longer on hold, and the separation indicators have check marks, indicating that they have been output.
5 If you select Reject, a Reject confirmation dialog box is displayed. Here, if you wish you can enter some comments about the rejected item, and click Reject to proceed.
If you return to the Jobs window, you will see that these results are no longer on hold, and are marked with a red stripe, indicating that they have been rejected.
6 Click OK.
The selected items are now either approved for output to a physical output device, or rejected. Any associated Waiting for Approval icons are removed in both the Job List and Job Layout panes.
When you reject job results, the results are marked as “rejected” in both the Job List and Job Layout panes. However, the results remain in the system, and are not deleted until the date/time specified in your Logging options (see
“Logging”). This gives you a time window during which you can still approve the rejected results before they are automatically deleted from the system.
NOTE: You do not have to approve or reject an item before quitting Preview. You can always approve or reject it later.
1 Select an item marked as rejected in the Job Layout pane.
2 Click the Approve tool.
A Continue confirmation dialog box is displayed.
3 Click Continue.
This overrides the rejected status. The job item is again put on hold (blue background), and is now approved for output.
NOTE: Although the rejected item has now been approved, it still retains the red stripe, indicating that it was once rejected.
4 To output the results, select the job item and click the Approve tool again.
You will see that these results are no longer on hold, and the separation indicators have check marks, indicating that they have been output.
