Job Tickets
The Resources in Job Jackets are organized into one or more Job Tickets. Each Job Ticket contains a set of particular Resources that can be applied to a QuarkXPress project.
Within a Job Ticket, Resources are grouped as follows:
- Project settings: A set of project-level Resources that can be applied to a single project. Project settings include things like style sheets, colors, output styles, and color management settings. Each Job Ticket contains one set of project settings.
- Layout definitions: Sets of layout-level Resources, each of which can be applied to a single layout. Each Job Ticket can contain zero or more layout definitions. Each layout definition can include the following:
- A Layout Specification (page size, orientation, and so forth)
- Zero or more Output Specifications (configurations for a particular output device)
- Zero or more Rule Sets (for inspecting the layout)
- A medium type (Print or Web)
- Color management settings (Source Setup and Output Setup)
- Proofing specifications (Proof Output and Proof Intent)
- Informational Resources (Description, Job Description, and Instructions)
Resources are defined and stored in a Job Jackets structure. A Job Ticket contains a set of project settings for a particular type of project and layout definitions for zero or more layouts. Note that Resource definitions do not “live” in Job Tickets; Job Tickets refer or “point” to Resource definitions, which live in the Job Jackets structure.
