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, Web, or Interactive) 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.
