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 to specify which pages make up the job: The Run List is generated automatically, based on the number of pages in the input document.

Jobs created by Hot Tickets appear in the Jobs List, together with the jobs created by Job Tickets.
