You can import a previously exported Prinergy job. You can choose
the import process template with which to import the job.

Pre-jobs
A pre-job is similar to a job but is used when you want to store
elements that are used in more than one job.
Pre-jobs are useful in these ways:
●
To automatically create jobs by dropping exported jobs into pre-job
hot folders
You create a pre-job with hot folder that is linked to an import
process template. When you drop exported jobs (with a
.zip
extension) into the hot folder for the pre-job, Prinergy automatically
creates a job. The job is at the root of the server on which the pre-
job exists, and has the same name as the exported job.
●
As a place to collect elements that are used in many jobs, such as
logos
When you want to use these elements in a job, you point the image
paths from the job to the pre-job folders where the items are stored.
For example, if you produce a magazine for the same customer
every month, you may want to reuse an image search path. To do
this, create the pre-job, and then set the image search path to a
folder containing the customer's logo and other frequently used
images. Then when you create a new job for the customer, copy the
image search path from the pre-job. The new job can then access
the same images.
●
By customers using Prepress Portal to upload files
For more information see your Prepress Portal documentation.
We suggest that you create a pre-job on each of your job servers, so
you can make use of the pre-job feature on each of your servers.
