Job Templates
New jobs you create in ProductionCenter are based on ticket templates that you create in Apogee Prepress. When you create your own templates in Apogee Prepress, you can select a Company and the ticket template will only be available for that particular customer.
You can also download the latest templates from the WebApproval folder inside the SupportFiles (located in the Prepress installation directory) or from the Prepress Apogee Resources. After importing, these templates will be accessible to all your Companies (customers):
•WA01 Preflight, self-service: a more advanced WebApproval flow with Document-Based Color Management enabled. The flow contains a second Preflight Task Processor with the ap_Input tagging action list. This flow provides good color representation in the browser and is based on an sRGB profile.
•WA02 Preflight DQS, self-service: a WebApproval flow combined with DQS. This flow has a separate branch for the Display Task Processor and the Web Proof action. The Web Proof action should not be placed on the main flow with DQS.
•WA03 Versioning, self-service: A template to create a product with multiple versions.
More detailed information about these default templates is provided in the Template Info section when creating the job.
Create ProductionCenter Job Ticket templates
ProductionCenter job ticket templates are created in Apogee Prepress in a similar way as for WebApproval job ticket templates. See the Apogee Prepress Help or tutorials for information on creating WebApproval Job Tickets and take the following steps into account for ProductionCenter templates.
1 Create a WebApproval Job Ticket. A WebApproval Job Ticket has a main flow and a flow with the Display task processor. The Hot Folder in the main flow must have the Web-enabled check box selected. A Web Proof action is placed before the Display task processor.
