XML to QuarkCopyDesk From Template
The XML to QuarkCopyDesk From Template workflow lets you transform content from
QuarkXPress projects, QuarkCopyDesk articles, and XML sources into QuarkCopyDesk
articles with an article template.
• Template: Choose a QuarkCopyDesk article template.
• Transformation: Choose a transformation that accepts a QuarkCopyDesk template and
has QuarkCopyDesk as an output format, such as NewsML to QuarkCopyDesk Article
with Template.
• Image Folder Paths: Specify the path(s) where any images required by the workflow can
be found. When the automation profile executes, the software searches these paths for
any images referenced in the transformation's XML output, attaches them to the article,
and checks them into QPS (if necessary). Note that if you specify a path in the file system,
you must use a valid UNC path to which the Automation Services server has read access.
If Automation Services cannot locate a picture file, it substitutes a default picture with the
same name as the missing picture. The default picture can be found at [application
folder]\AutomationServices_Data\Resources\ProfileManagement\FallbackImage.jpg.
• Save Location: Specify where you want the final file to be put. If you check the file into
QPS, the transformation must supply the corresponding metadata in a QPSEntityModel
output. Note that if you specify a path in the file system, you must use a valid UNC path
to which the Automation Services server has write access, and the path must include the
name of the output article. Pictures are stored in a "Pictures" folder at the same level as
the output article.
XML to QuarkXPress
The XML to QuarkXPress workflow lets you transform content from QuarkXPress projects,
QuarkCopyDesk articles, and XML sources into QuarkXPress layouts with a QuarkXPress
template.
• Template: Choose a QuarkXPress article template.
• Transformation: Choose a transformation that accepts a QuarkXPress template and has
QuarkXPress as an output format, such as DocBook to QuarkXPress Template to PDF.
• Image Folder Paths: Specify the path(s) where any images required by the workflow can
be found. When the automation profile executes, the software searches these paths for
any images referenced in the transformation's XML output, attaches them to the layout,
and checks them into QPS (if necessary). Note that if you specify a path in the file system,
you must use a valid UNC path to which the Automation Services server has read access.
If Automation Services cannot locate a picture file, it substitutes a default picture with the
same name as the missing picture. The default picture can be found at [deployment
directory]\AutomationServices_Data\Resources\ProfileManagement\FallbackImage.jpg.
• Save Location: Specify where you want the final file to be put. If you check the file into
QPS, the transformation must supply the corresponding metadata in a QPSEntityModel
