Working with Job Tickets
A Job Ticket is a set of Resources (specifications and rules) that can be applied to one or
more QuarkXPress projects. Each Job Ticket has a name and is stored in a particular
Job Jackets structure. A Job Ticket contains both project-level Resources (such as colors,
style sheets, and color management settings) and layout-level Resources (such as Layout
Specifications and layout definitions).
There are three kinds of Job Tickets:
A Job Ticket template is a definition for a "master" Job Ticket. In some ways, a Job Ticket
template is similar to a master page or a QuarkXPress template file.
An active Job Ticket is a copy of a Job Ticket template that is associated with a particular
project.
A deferred Job Ticket is a copy of a Job Ticket template that has been associated with a
project, but is no longer associated with that project (for example, if the project was closed
without being saved).
Creating a Job Ticket template
Here are some guidelines to indicate when you might want to have separate Job Ticket
templates:
If you have a recurring print job, such as a newsletter or magazine, you might want to
create a Job Ticket template for that job.
If you plan to create several types of layouts (such as a poster, postcard, Web site, and
Flash presentation) that are all based on a single campaign or theme, you might want to
create a Job Ticket template for each layout and store all of the Job Ticket templates in a
single Job Jackets file. That way, all of the layouts can share the same style sheets, colors,
and so forth.
If you have a standard format that is used by a number of people, such as an ad format,
you might want to use a Job Ticket template to help your customers construct their ads
according to the guidelines.
If a group of layout artists needs to ensure that they are all using the same style sheets,
colors, or other Resources, and to keep those Resources synchronized among the layout
