The document pool
QuarkXPress Server reads server templates and static projects from a directory called the
document pool. The document pool can be any directory that is available to
QuarkXPress Server through a file system or an FTP server. You can use any of the following
methods to place files in the document pool:
Drag the files to the document pool directory.
Use the Add Files command in the Document Pool screen of the QuarkXPress Server Web
interface.
Upload the files using FTP to the document pool directory.
Use Telegraph XTensions® software to upload the files to the document pool from within
QuarkXPress. (For more information about Telegraph XTensions software, see "Telegraph
XTensions software.")
For more information about the document pool, see "The QuarkXPress Server user interface."
QuarkXPress Server can also serve documents from a database, a content management
system, or other sources. Collectively, the document pool and any other source of files to
be served are referred to as document providers.
Projects and layouts
QuarkXPress projects can contain one or more layouts, and only one layout can be rendered
at any given time. If you do not specify a layout when you send a rendering request,
QuarkXPress Server renders the first layout in the project.
Job Jackets and resources
In QuarkXPress, resources are things such as style sheets, colors, H&Js, output styles, and
item styles. Resources are stored in a Job Jackets structure, which can be either embedded
in a project or stored in a separate Job Jackets file.
QuarkXPress Server uses a default Job Jackets file to make a default set of resources available
to all projects handled by QuarkXPress Server, regardless of whether they are included in
the projects and articles you render. You can update this file in two ways:
Using the QuarkXPress Server Web interface. For more information, see "Job Jackets dialog
box."
Using request handlers. For more information, see jobjacket and updateprefsfromjj
the QuarkXPress Server Web Integration Guide.
Once you've downloaded the default Job Jackets file, you can update its resources using
QuarkXPress. For more information, see "Job Jackets" in A Guide to QuarkXPress.
The location of the default Job Jackets file is stored in the QuarkXPress Server preferences
folder. For more information, see "QuarkXPress Server preferences."
