Working with the Run List
The Run List displays the pages that have been selected from the Page Store, and that will be included in your job. A page in the Run List shows similar information to the same page in the Page Store. The page name is the document name as displayed in the Page Store, followed by the page number. Placeholders and blank pages do not have a name.
NOTE: If you are working with a versioning job, the layout of the Run List is considerably different (depending on the specific parameters of the input documents). For more information, refer to “Versioning Jobs in the Run List”.
To add pages to a Run List
2 Select the document and/or pages you want to add.
Pages that are not placed in the Run List have a green background.
For information on selecting several contiguous or non-contiguous pages, see “To select or de-select multiple jobs or items”.
3 Drag the documents and/or pages from the Page Store to the desired position in the Run List.
TIP: Press E to select even placeholders and press O to select odd placeholders while dragging pages to the Run List.
The status icon in the Job List indicates that the Run List is being edited:
 |
While you are editing the Run List, Apogee locks it to prevent other users from trying to edit it at the same time.Pages that are placed in the Run List now have a gray background.
After adding pages to the Run List, you need to submit your changes (see “To submit a ticket”). Other Clients will not see the newly added pages until they have been submitted.
NOTE: If a page is to be added to the Run List, but fails before it reaches the Run List Task Processor (e.g. in the Normalizer), then it will not appear in the Run List. Instead, it will be marked as being in error in the Page Store. You will be alerted of this by a notification.

3 From the context menu, choose:
