Job Creation Presets Wizard

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

The File>Print Presets>Job Creation Settings ... dialog displays a list of available presets and a summary of their settings. This dialog can be used to create new Presets or to edit and update existing Presets. Presets, however, cannot be deleted or renamed from within this dialog. That must be done manually.

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

The Presets can be found in the following folder: C:\Users\[UserName]\Connect\workspace\configurations\JobCreationConfig
Where [username] is replaced by the appropriate Windows user name.

Tip: Actually, the path may not begin with 'C:\Users', as this is language-dependent. On a French system, for example, it would be 'C:\Utilisateurs'.

Type %userprofile% in a Windows File Explorer and press Enter to open the actual current user's home directory.

Once saved, Job Presets can be loaded in the Print Wizard, to have the Print Wizard use the selected Job values.

For more information about Job Creation Presets, see Print Presets.

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