Once a Rule Set has been associated with a layout’s Job Ticket template instance, the layout artist can evaluate the layout against that Rule Set (see “Evaluating a layout“). You can associate a Rule Set with a layout in two ways.

A job definer will typically add a Rule Set to a layout definition in a Job Jackets file before the actual project and layout are created. Because a Rule Set is a Resource, you add it to a layout definition just as you would any other Resource (see “Working with Resources: Advanced mode“).

To make a Rule Set available in a layout as soon as that layout is created, associate the Rule Set with the layout definition using the Job Jackets Manager dialog box.

A layout artist can add a Rule Set to a layout after the project and layout are created. For information on how to do this, see “Working with Resources in a Job Ticket: Basic mode.”

A layout artist can use the Edit Job Ticket dialog box (File > Job Jackets > Modify Job Ticket) to assign a Rule Set to a layout in the active project.
