    The Production Settings page

  4. The Production Settings window contains the following sections:
    • Production Time: The Production section lets you change default values for production specific parameters. These settings are system wide and can be overridden at template level.
      • Standard Production Time: In the Standard Production Time pull-down-menu the number of days to produce documents can be defined. The values ranges from 0 to 15. The standard production time is used to calculate the first possible shipping date during the ordering process. The end user has the option to select a different date (via a calendar) but cannot select any of the dates marked as standard production time. The values specified in this section are automatically applied to new templates.
      • Rush Order Production Time: The Rush Order Production Time pull-down-menu defines the number of production days for rush orders. When the end user selects a date that implies a rush order the rush surcharge is added to the price of the document. If the rush order production time is set to 0 no rush orders are accepted.
      • Include Today In Production Time: When checked, this option determines if the current date is counted as a production day for orders placed before the time specified in the Orders Placed Before pull-down-menu.
      • Orders Placed Before: Defines the time for the Include today in production time option.
      When no Standard Production Time is specified and the Include Today In Production Time checkbox is checked, it is possible for customers to order print jobs for the same day (when ordered before the specified Orders placed before time).

      The default value of the Orders placed before pull-down-menu is 13:00 hours. The settings defined in the Production section are system default settings and are used for all templates. It is also possible to specify production settings for a template in the Publication Types section. For more information see Add publication types.

    • Print Production Connector: The Print Production Connector Framework is build on top of the module framework and is called when creating PDF and printing an order. The Production Settings page defines the active Print Production Connector.

      For more information see the Print Production integrationguide. This document describes the Print Production Framework and the options of the XML to File connector.
