Creating a Job Ticket template

Here are some guidelines to indicate when you might want to have separate Job Ticket templates:

  • If you have a recurring print job, such as a newsletter or magazine, you might want to create a Job Ticket template for that job.
  • If you plan to create several types of layouts (such as a poster, postcard, Web site, and Flash presentation) that are all based on a single campaign or theme, you might want to create a Job Ticket template for each layout and store all of the Job Ticket templates in a single Job Jackets file. That way, all of the layouts can share the same style sheets, colors, and so forth.
  • If you have a standard format that is used by a number of people, such as an ad format, you might want to use a Job Ticket template to help your customers construct their ads according to the guidelines.
  • If a group of layout artists needs to ensure that they are all using the same style sheets, colors, or other Resources, and to keep those Resources synchronized among the layout artists if the Resources should change, you might want to store those Resources in a Job Ticket template so the layout artists can access the Resources via a shared Job Jackets file. This approach can help you to maintain corporate brand standards in a large organization.
