Asanti Help : Getting Started : The Management Windows
The Management Windows
The Asanti Client includes three management windows:
The Jobs Window, for viewing and managing jobs.
The Hot Tickets Window, for viewing and managing Hot Tickets.
The System Overview Window, for viewing and configuring the system components (Task Processors and Resources), managing the Asanti System, and managing individual Task Processor activities.
You can switch between these three windows using the Navigation Bar, which is located at the bottom of each window.
The Jobs Window
The Jobs Window gives you a complete high-level overview of your workflow. In a single window, you can see the complete list and status of jobs in the system and the output devices that are available.
You can track the progress and activity of jobs, and view information about specific processing parameters. Powerful viewing features let you preview rasterized jobs. This allows you to check trapped, imposed, and screened bitmaps before imaging a proof, film, or plate. A Message Board keeps all users up to date about jobs that require attention.
You can also interact with the displayed information. By context-clicking jobs you can set priority handling for rush jobs, hold and resume jobs, approve or reject jobs, resubmit jobs, process quick remakes, or open the Ticket Editor.
The Hot Tickets Window
This is where you monitor, view, and manage the Hot Tickets that are created by the Asanti System. Unlike Job Tickets, which appear in the Jobs Window together with the jobs they are used to create, Hot Tickets appear only in the Hot Tickets window.
Hot Tickets comprise only 3 tabs: Administration, Options, and Plan. There are no Pages or Results tabs.
There is no Pages tab because Hot Tickets do not require Run Lists to specify which pages make up the job: The Run List is generated automatically, based on the number of pages in the input document.
There is no Results tab because Hot Tickets are never associated with the results of a single job: Hot Tickets are used to generate multiple jobs.
Jobs created by Hot Tickets appear in the Jobs List, together with the jobs created by Job Tickets.
The System Overview Window
The System Overview provides centralized system management, allowing you to monitor key components and tasks.
Exactly what you will see in the System Overview window depends on your Access Level, as specified in your Preferences. However, all users can view and configure workflow and process settings, including input channels, normalizing, preflighting, screening, trapping, rendering, and output options.
If you have the necessary Access Level, you can also view and configure the following system elements for optimal performance:
Global system settings, such as archiving, logging and administration.
Any available processing resources, including fonts, screens, calibration curves, imposition profiles, ICC profiles, and more.
