automatically links them to versioned pages. Prinergy also
automatically creates version pages if they do not already exist.
Consistent refined page names
If your refined page names are not consistent, you can make them
consistent by renaming your refined pages using smart hot folders.
For information on using smart hot folders, see the

General tasks required to link refined pages automatically
The general tasks required to link refined pages automatically are:
●
Define page name patterns
—Define a page name pattern that
matches the refined page names for each layer.
●
Build the versioned page
—After setting the page name pattern in
the version plan, refine the files using the
Build Versioned Page
check box in the refine process template. This check box tells
Prinergy to use page name patterns to link refined pages to
versioned pages, and to create versioned pages if necessary.
When you refine input files in a LPV job that uses automatic linking,
Prinergy:
●
Compares all refined pages against the page name pattern for the
first layer
●
Based on the wild card value, creates a versioned page for each
refined page that matches the pattern—if one has not already been
created.
●
Links each refined page to the layer of the corresponding versioned
page
●
Repeats the above actions for the remaining layers
Page name patterns
Construct the page name pattern carefully to ensure that the
automatic linking results are as you intended. After defining a page
name pattern, it is important to check that it links refined pages to
versioned pages correctly.
Tip: If you create a version plan with page name patterns that you can use for
other jobs, the job can become a template for other jobs.
What is a page name pattern?
A page name pattern is a set of characters that matches the refined
page names for a layer, where wild cards are used to represent the
characters that change between each refined page name.
