Applying a layout definition to a project
A layout definition provides a group of settings that combine to describe a layout.
These settings can include a medium type (Print, Digital), Rule Sets, Output Setups,
and a color management Source Setup. A layout definition also can include a Layout
Specification, which includes information such as page size and page count (note
that Layout Specifications must be created at the Job Jackets level).
When you associate a project with a Job Ticket template, QuarkXPress automatically
creates a layout for each layout definition in that Job Ticket template. Such layouts
have the same names as the layout definitions they were based on.
You can apply a layout definition to a project in two ways:
Create a project from the Job Ticket containing the layout definition, as •
described in “Creating a project from a Job Ticket.”
Link the Job Ticket to the active project after the project has been created, as •
described in “Linking an existing project to a Job Jackets file.”
Whichever approach you use, the defined layouts are created automatically.
Exporting and importing Job Tickets
There may be situations in which a job definer needs to copy a Job Ticket template
or Job Ticket from one Job Jackets file to another, or to import all of a Job Jackets
structure’s Job Ticket templates and Job Tickets into another Job Jackets structure.
You can do both of these things with the Job Ticket export and import features.

they require.
