Job Preset

A Job Preset (or Job Creation Preset) is a settings file by which the Connect Server can filter, sort, and group print content items, add meta data and store finishing settings.

The Presets are all stored as individual files, using the selected Preset name and a "OL-jobpreset" file extension.

Once saved, Print Presets can be loaded in the Print Wizard or be used in the “Send to Server“, or “Package“ options, to re-use the selected Output values.

You can also send the Preset to Workflow to use it in Workflow configurations. See Sending files to Workflow.

For more information about Job Presets, see Print Presets.

Note: The Job Creation Wizard requires an active Template and associated data.
