Imposition handling with .xpf tickets
•If the .xpf ticket contains Imposition information and the workflow contains Imposition nodes, imposition information is applied to the first imposition node automatically.
•If the Imposition node has “Always use these settings” selected, the Imposition node settings overwrite the .xpf ticket; otherwise, the .xpf ticket overwrites the Imposition node settings.
•If the .xpf ticket contains any imposition information and the workflow does not contain any imposition node, the imposition information is ignored.
Submitting .xml workflow files to a hot folder
This feature allows you to submit exported workflow(s) in xml format, with either a file or a folder containing several files, to a hot folder.
The .xml file name must match the name of its associated file or folder to be picked up for hot folder processing.
Dynamic workflows: Files are submitted to a dynamically created “Submitted with documents” workflow, which is available in the target workflow drop box. Each time a new job is submitted to a dynamic workflow, a new workflow, with a unique workflow Id, is created. Dynamic workflows are not visible and are deleted from the Process Manager database when jobs using the workflows are deleted. Data from the dynamically created workflow is available for accounting information, but the “Submitted with documents” workflow does not contain any accounting info.
Matching file names: The .xml must be named <filename>.<file ext>.xml to be associated with <filename>.<file ext>.
Matching folder names: The .xml must be named <folder name>.xml to be associated with <folder>.
When submitting a folder to a hot folder, the .xml must be outside the submitted folder. Each file in the folder is submitted as a single job to each of the workflows in the .xml file.
