Versioning Jobs in the Run List
If you are working with a versioning job, the layout of the Run List is considerably different.
The Run List has one group of columns for each layer added in the Page Assembly setup (Versioning Task Processor settings). Each column group has one column for each possible variation of the layer. To make a page for a version, Apogee combines the contents of one layer variation from each column group. Each different version combines the content from different layer variations. By default, you will see all the columns that contribute to all versions.
Overview - All Versions
The example below has two layers: one for background graphics and one for text. The layer for text has four variations - Default, English, French and German.
 |
The columns - referred to as Run List Layers (RLLs) - contain all possible variations which can be used to produce the different page versions. For each page, you will see an associated page number and signature.
Versions
The versions are defined in the job’s Production Plan, allowing you to create jobs which contain several different versions for some or all of the text (for example, using different languages as illustrated above).
Run List Layers (RLLs)
The RLLs are defined in the job’s Production Plan, and are used to add extra dimensions to the specified versions. For example, you can use RLLs to break down each language version into two parts: The CMY ‘background’ color separations which are common to all versions, and the black ‘text’ separation which is different for each version.
In the example above, there are two RLL columns: The first RLL is labeled ‘Background’; the second RLL is labeled ‘Text’.
Version selection list
By clicking the All list at the top right of the Run List, you can display the Version selection list.
 |
Each version is automatically assigned a specific version number (V1, V2, etc.) and color code for easy identification. Here, you can select a specific version, in order to display only the pages that contribute to this version.
These shortcuts are available in the plate set-up tab of the Versioning task processor in the Plan tab.
Apogee makes a version page by combining the contributing pages you see in one row.

Page and Version Indicators
Each page may contribute to a side in one or more versions. To the left of the page icon, you will see a small vertical bar called the plate set indicator. This indicates if the page is contributing to sides for which plates will be made.
 |
 | A full bar indicates that one or more of the side versions to which this page contributes will have a full set of plates made. | |
 | A half full bar indicates that one or more of the side versions to which this page contributes will have a partial set of plates made. | |
 | An empty bar indicates that none of the side versions to which this page contributes will have any plates made. |
In the Page Store, the names and page numbers of placed pages are displayed in gray: Unplaced page names and numbers are displayed in black. As soon as one page or even one PDF layer from a document is placed, the document name is also displayed in gray. A document name displayed in black indicates that none of its pages are placed.
NOTE: Folders names never indicate placed/unplaced status. They always appear in black.
Flowing Pages in Versioning jobs
Placing pages for versioning jobs is facilitated by the ability to flow version pages horizontally in the run list. For example, 20 versioning pages can be dragged onto a single page in the run list to fill it with different versioning content.

Zooming into the Run List
For versioning jobs you can zoom into the Run List pane and make the labels wider or narrower.
