The Job Jackets Manager dialog box (Utilities > Job Jackets Manager) lets a job definer
work with Job Jackets files and their components. This dialog box has a basic mode (top)

Creating Job Jackets files
First of all, when and why should a job definer create a Job Jackets file? There are no
hard-and-fast rules for answering this question: If you want to, you can put Job Tickets
for all of your print jobs in one great big Job Jackets file. However, here are some
guidelines to indicate when you might want to have separate Job Jackets files.
If you plan to create a number of print jobs that share the same Resources (such as
colors, style sheets, trapping settings, color management settings, and page sizes), you
might want to create one Job Jackets file for all of those print jobs. For example, if
you're a design firm that serves several different clients, each of which has its own
visual identity, you might create one Job Jackets file for each client.
If you are in charge of a design group and you'd like to make sure that every layout
artist working on a particular project (such as a promotional campaign) uses the exact
same Resources, you might want to create a Job Jackets file and Job Ticket template
containing those Resources, and have all of the layout artists share that Job Jackets
file.
