JOB JACKETS
A Job Jackets file can contain Job Ticket templates (containing definitions for Job
Tickets), active Job Tickets (which are associated with a particular project), and deferred
Job Tickets (which have been associated with a project, but are no longer associated
with that project).
Each Job Ticket template can be used to generate Job Tickets for one or more
projects. Each Job Ticket can apply to only one project. When a Job Ticket is applied
to a project, the Resources in that Job Ticket become available in the project (for
example, the project inherits all of the color, style sheet, and layout definitions
listed in the Job Ticket).
There are two ways to apply a Job Ticket to a project:
When creating the project, choose File > New > Project from Ticket, and then
select a Job Ticket template. QuarkXPress copies the Job Ticket template’s
information into a new Job Ticket for the new project. The new project
automatically contains a pre-configured layout for each of the layout definitions
in the Job Ticket template, plus all of the project settings defined in the Job
Ticket template.
Create or open an existing project, and then choose File > Job Jackets > Link
Project and select a Job Ticket template. Again, QuarkXPress copies the Job
Ticket template’s information into a new Job Ticket for this particular project.
The project acquires all of the project settings defined in the Job Ticket template,
and a new pre-configured layout is created for each of the layout definitions in
the Job Ticket template.
A Job Ticket maintains no link to the Job Ticket template from which it was created.
Changes made to a Job Ticket template are not propagated to existing Job Tickets.
Linked and embedded Job Jackets
Every QuarkXPress project is associated with a Job Jackets structure. A project’s Job
Jackets structure may be embedded in the project, or it may be stored in an XML
Job Jackets file in the local file system. The location of a project’s Job Jackets
structure depends on how you create the project; for more information, see
“Applying a Job Ticket template to a project.”
