A Job Jackets file can contain Job Ticket templates (containing definitions for Job Tickets),
active Job Tickets (which are associated with a particular project), and deferred Job Tickets
(which have been associated with a project, but are no longer associated with that project).
Each Job Ticket template can be used to generate Job Tickets for one or more projects. Each
Job Ticket can apply to only one project. When a Job Ticket is applied to a project, the
Resources in that Job Ticket become available in the project (for example, the project
inherits all of the color, style sheet, and layout definitions listed in the Job Ticket).
There are two ways to apply a Job Ticket to a project:
• When creating the project, choose File > New > Project from Ticket, and then select a
Job Ticket template. QuarkXPress copies the Job Ticket template's information into a new
Job Ticket for the new project. The new project automatically contains a pre-configured
layout for each of the layout definitions in the Job Ticket template, plus all of the project
settings defined in the Job Ticket template.
• Create or open an existing project, and then choose File > Job Jackets > Link Project and
select a Job Ticket template. Again, QuarkXPress copies the Job Ticket template's information
into a new Job Ticket for this particular project. The project acquires all of the project
settings defined in the Job Ticket template, and a new pre-configured layout is created for
each of the layout definitions in the Job Ticket template.
A Job Ticket maintains no link to the Job Ticket template from which it was created.
Changes made to a Job Ticket template are not propagated to existing Job Tickets.
Linked and embedded Job Jackets
Every QuarkXPress project is associated with a Job Jackets structure. A project's Job Jackets
structure may be embedded in the project, or it may be stored in an XML Job Jackets file
in the local file system. The location of a project's Job Jackets structure depends on how
you create the project; for more information, see "Applying a Job Ticket template to a
project."
