6.12Administering global job templates

A global job template is an object in which frequently used options of the xpadd -jobcommand are stored. This saves the user the effort of constantly specifying the same options explicitly for frequently recurring print jobs. Instead, the user simply assigns the print job a job template featuring the relevant options. Xprint V7.0 reads these from the database and executes them.

Global job templates, which are available throughout the entire system, can only be defined by the Xprint V7.0 administrator or a local Xprint V7.0 administrator. It is possible, however, for all users to define their own job templates on his local hosts.

Every user can define customized job templates and also replace global job templates by private ones.
