Version Setup Dialog Box
The Version Setup dialog box enables you to control how multiple product versions are arranged on a press sheet to create a mix of versions across the available press sheets.
The Version Setup dialog box is opened by clicking the Edit Press Sheet Versions command in the cogwheel menu in the Plates tab of the Versioning task processor (production plan in edit mode).

Press Sheets
The list of press sheets for the job with the name of the press sheet and the number of press sheet versions for this press sheet indicated on the right.
Press Sheet Versions
The list of sheet versions for the selected press sheet. Initially the list is empty. Sheet versions (SV1, SV2, etc.) are added by clicking the Add button at the bottom of the list. Each sheet version has a number of slots that is equal to the number of fold sheets (or web deliverables) available on the press sheet. Product versions are assigned to the sheet versions by selecting a product version in the drop-down list or by dragging versions from the Versions column onto the slots on the press sheet. Drag a version onto a filled slot to replace the assigned version. The calculated run length is displayed under the sheet version indicator.
Versions
The list of all the available product versions, color-coded with a version number (V1, V2, V3, etc.), the version name (e.g. English, French, German) and the requested/actual copy count for each product version. Product versions need to be assigned to sheet versions and the following color scheme is used to indicate the status of the copy count:
•black: product version is assigned and requested copy count reached
•red: product version is not yet assigned
•blue: the actual copy count exceeds the requested copy count
