JOB JACKETS
Creating Rules: Advanced mode
To construct a Rule, first navigate to the Rule Resources in the Job Jackets Manager
dialog box, as described in “Working with Resources: Advanced mode.” Then use the
Rule wizard, as follows:
Click the New button . The Edit Rule dialog box (the first part of the Rule
1.
wizard) displays.
Enter a name for the Rule in the Name field.
2.
To indicate what kind of object the Rule should apply to, choose an option 3.
from the Subject drop-down menu. Available subjects include all boxes, text
boxes, picture boxes, text characters, lines, text paths, pictures, and fonts.
Use the Edit Rule dialog box to create rules.
To indicate what you want the Rule to check, check an option in the 4.
Conditions area. The available conditions depend on the selected subject.
Repeat this step for each condition you want to include in the Rule. The
conditions are combined with a logical AND operator. For example, to create a
Rule specifying that text boxes should have a background of 50% Blue, choose
Text Boxes and then check both Background and Shade.
Click Next to display the next dialog box in the Rule wizard. In this dialog box,
5.
you must specify the conditions that trigger the Rule (for example, “is not
Overprint” or “is less than 10pt”). To configure each condition, click the
expander to expand the item in the list, then choose options and enter values
in the provided fields.
