Working with Resources in a Job Ticket: Basic mode
This topic describes how to add and remove Resources in a Job Ticket or Job Ticket template using the New Job Ticket or Edit Job Ticket dialog box. These two dialog boxes are basically the same, except that the Edit Job Ticket dialog box looks slightly different for Job Tickets than it does for Job Ticket templates.
You can add Resources to a Job Ticket template or Job Ticket in the New Job Ticket and Edit Job Ticket dialog boxes.
To assign Resources using the New Job Ticket or Edit Job Ticket dialog box:
- To add or remove project-level Resources, use the controls on the Style Settings tab (for Job Ticket templates) or the Project Settings tab (for active and deferred Job Tickets).
You can append project-level Resources from a variety of sources using the Append From drop-down menu:
- To append Resources from the Job Ticket’s parent Job Jackets structure, choose Current Jacket.
- To append Resources from the active project, choose Current Linked Project.
- To append Resources from the application defaults, choose Application.
- To append Resources from a project file or from a Job Jackets file, choose Other, and then click Select and navigate to the target file.
To copy Resources to the Job Ticket, use the three lists at the bottom of the dialog box. Choose a type of Resource from the first list, then choose specific Resources in the second list, and click the right-facing arrow to copy those Resources into the third list (which shows the Resources of this type in the Job Ticket).
To remove Resources from the Job Ticket, choose a type of Resource from the first list, then choose specific Resources in the third list, and click the left-facing arrow.
- The presence of a layout definition means that QuarkXPress will automatically create a layout when this Job Ticket is applied to a project. When creating a layout definition, you can specify a Layout Specification (with information such as page size and page count), a Medium Type (Print, Web, or Interactive), Rule Sets, and Output Specifications.
To add a layout definition to the Job Ticket, click the Layout Settings tab, then click the
button; a layout definition is added to the list.
To configure the selected layout definition, first click the Layout Properties control to display the layout property controls, then:
- To name the layout definition, enter a name in the Layout Name field. This name will be applied to the automatically generated layout.
- To specify information such as page size and page count for the layout definition, choose an option from the Layout Specification drop-down menu. (Note that a Layout Specification must be present in the Job Jackets structure before you can choose the Layout Specification here; see “Creating Job Jackets” for more information.)
- To indicate what type of layout should be created automatically for this layout definition, choose an option from the Medium Type drop-down menu.
- To copy Rule Sets and Output Specifications from the parent Job Jackets structure to the layout definition, use the three lists at the bottom of the dialog box. Choose a type of Resource from the first list, then choose specific Resources in the second list, and click the button to copy those Resources into the third list (which shows the Resources of this type in the layout definition).
To delete a layout definition, select it and click the
button.
- When you are finished configuring the Job Ticket, click OK.
