Table Of Contents
You can create and modify some types of Resources, but others must be created and
modified using other parts of the QuarkXPress user interface.
You can create, duplicate, delete, and configure layout definitions, Output Specifications,
Layout Specifications, Job Descriptions, Contacts, Rules, and Rule Sets in a Job Jackets
structure.
If a Resource permits it, you can create and configure that Resource in the Job Jackets
Manager dialog box as follows:
1
To create a Resource of the type selected in the top-right list, click the New Item button
in the bottom-right list. To rename the Resource, click its name.
2
If a Resource has an expander icon, click that icon to expand the Resource, and then
configure the fields that are revealed. Some Resource fields include drop-down menus,
while others allow you to enter values manually.
3
If a Resource has a button, click that button to create additional instances of the Resource.
For example, when creating a Layout Specification, you can click this button on the Spot
Color Resource to create additional spot colors.
Specifying the location of Resources: Advanced mode
Resources can exist in several locations:
In Jacket: Stored in a Job Jackets structure, but not used in any of that Job Jackets structure's
Job Ticket templates or Job Tickets.
In Ticket: Stored in a Job Jackets structure and associated with a Job Ticket template or
Job Ticket. If an "In Ticket" Resource is in a Job Ticket template that is associated with a
project, that Resource is also available in the project.
In Project: Stored in a project, but NOT associated with a Job Jackets structure or Job
Ticket.
You can specify the location of Resources as follows:
1
Access a Resource using the Job Jackets Manager dialog box, as described in "Accessing
Resources: Advanced mode."
2
Select the Resource in the bottom-right list.
3
Choose a location from the drop-down menu in the Status column:
If the item selected in the left list is a Job Jackets structure, you can choose only In Jacket.
If the item selected in the left list is a Job Ticket template or Job Ticket, you can specify
whether or not the Resource is associated with that Job Ticket template or Job Ticket by
choosing In Jacket or In Ticket.
If the item selected in the left list is a project, you can specify whether the Resource is
defined only in the project (Status = In Project) or uses the definition in the project's
active Job Ticket (Status = In Ticket).
