Entering values into custom fields
You can enter values for custom fields in these ways:
●
Manually in Workshop
●
Automatically by importing an imposition that is part of a JDF file
that contains custom field data
●
Automatically via Business Link by setting up Prinergy to get data
for custom fields from an XML file created by an MIS (management
information system) when the MIS creates a new Prinergy job via
Business Link
●
Using the
Set Custom Fields
action in RBA
Rights to work with custom fields
User rights for custom fields is controlled using Prinergy Administrator.
You must have a specific user right to modify which custom fields are
defined and what their default value and visibility is. Without the right
to manage custom fields, the Custom Fields Manager is in read-only
mode, and its title displays the words “Read only.” Any Workshop user
can edit the values assigned to custom fields. For information about
setting user rights for managing custom fields, see Prinergy System
Administration guide.
