You can use the Edit Job Ticket dialog box (File > Job Jackets > Modify Job Ticket) to
assign a Layout Specification to a layout in the active project.
Working with Rules and Rule Sets
A Rule is a test that is executed against the active layout when you choose File >
Job Jackets > Evaluate Layout.
Each Rule can test one condition. For example, a Rule might state that all text characters
should be set to overprint. Rules also can include descriptions, policies (to indicate to the
layout artist whether a given condition is mandatory, recommended, or forbidden), and
instructions for fixing problem situations.
The standard procedure for working with Rules and Rule Sets is:
1
Create Rules (see "Creating Rules: Advanced mode") and add them to a Rule Set (see "Adding
Rules to a Rule Set: Advanced mode"). This is typically done by a job definer, possibly working
with an output specialist.
2
Associate the Rule Set with a layout using a Job Ticket template (see "Applying a Rule Set to
a layout"). This is typically done by the job definer.
