A layout artist can use the Edit Job Ticket dialog box (File > Job Jackets > Modify Job
Ticket) to assign a Rule Set to a layout in the active project.
Evaluating a layout
Rule Sets, Layout Specifications, and Output Specifications provide tests that can be
evaluated to determine whether a layout adheres to the specifications created by the
job definer. The Evaluate Layout command lets you execute those tests and
determine whether (and where) any violations occur. This command also checks the
layout against its layout definition, to verify medium type (Print, Digital) and color
management settings. Once violations are identified, a layout artist can decide what
(if anything) to do about them.
Before you attempt to evaluate a layout, make sure the project is associated with a

Job Ticket that defines Rule Sets or Output Specifications for the active layout.
The Evaluate Layout feature is designed to highlight layout problems and indicate 
where they can be fixed. However, it cannot prevent a layout artist from making
changes that violate the specifications and Rules defined in a Job Ticket.
