Filesusedinaprintprocess
BeforecreatingtheprintprocessintheWorkflowconfigurationtool,youwillneedtocreate:
l
AtemplatewithaPrintcontext.(See"Creatingatemplate"onpage415.)
Inaddition,theprocessmayuse:
l
Adata mapping configuration,oradatamodelattheveryleast,ifthedocumentsshouldcon-
tainvariabledata.(See"Creatinganewdatamappingconfiguration"onpage200.)
l
AJob Creation Preset.(See"JobCreationPresetsWizard"onpage1069.)AJobCreationPre-
setdefineswheretheoutputgoesandmakesitpossibletofilterandsortrecords,groupdoc-
uments,andaddmetadata.
l
AnOutput Creation Preset.(See"OutputCreationPresetsWizard"onpage1084.)AnOutput
CreationPresetcansplitaprintjobintosmallerprintjobs,andsetprintingoptionssuchasbind-
ing,OMRmarkingsandthelike.
AllofthesefilesaremadewiththeDesignerandneedtobesenttoPlanetPressWorkflowbeforethey
canbeusedintheWorkflowprocess;see"SendingfilestoWorkflow"onpage418.
WhenthenecessaryfileshavebeencreatedandsenttoWorkflow,thenextstepistocreateaprocess
inPlanetPressWorkflowthatgeneratesPrintoutput,usingthesefiles.
FormoreinformationabouthowtocreateaprocessinWorkflow,pleaserefertotheOnlineHelpof
