In Workflow there are special plugins that work with Print Presets; for more information see
"Print processes with OL Connect tasks" on page186.
In order to use Print Presets in a print process they must be sent to Workflow in advance; see
"Sending files to Workflow" on page454.
Job Creation Presets
A Job Creation Preset is a file that contains settings for the creation of a print job. It is used
after a template has been merged with data, but before the actual print output file is produced.
Merging a template with data results in a set of print content items. Based on the settings in a
Job Creation Preset, the Connect server can take a number of actions on a set of print content
items. The actions are described below.
In addition, runtime parameters can be defined in a Job Creation Preset. Filled with a value at
runtime, these can be used for comparisons against conditions within the Job Creation, or in
external sorting programs.
Select File > Print Presets > Job Creation Settings... to run the "Job Creation Presets
Wizard" on page1170.
Note
The Job Creation options are also available in the Advanced Printer Wizardin the
Designer, which appears when you select File > Print (or Proof Print) and click the
Advanced button. However, the Advanced Printer Wizard cannot save your settings to
file for re-use.
Tip
When a Print template is merged with data by a process in Workflow, the resulting print
content items are saved in the Connect database. These items can be retrieved later on
(using the Retrieve Items task in the Workflow) so that they can be re-used and combined
in new print runs. This is called batching and commingling. (See also: "Batching and
commingling" on page190.)
