A project that is linked to an active Job Ticket
A deferred Job Ticket has a icon, but is not linked to a project. This may mean
that the project was moved, deleted, or never saved.
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:
By creating a project from the Job Ticket containing the layout definition, as ●
described in “Creating a project from a Job Ticket“.
By linking 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.
Exporting a Job Ticket template or Job Ticket
To export a Job Ticket template or Job Ticket from a Job Jackets structure:
Open the Job Jackets Manager dialog box (Utilities menu) and select the 1
target Job Ticket (or Job Tickets) in the left list.
