About importing jobs
Importing is the process of creating a job based on a previously
exported job. Export files have a .zip extension.
Use any of these methods to import jobs:
●
Import a job in the Job Finder using the Import Job menu item
●
Import a job while creating a new job
●
Import a job using a hot folder
●
Import a partial job using the
Import Job (Incremental)
menu item
●
Import a partial job using a hot folder
Someone must export a job or a partial job before you can import it.
When you import an exported job, Prinergy decompresses the
exported job file, and populates the new job with the content from the
exported job.
If the exported job has an APA file, Prinergy looks for the APA file with
the latest date and time, and then copies the information from it into a
new APA file. The filename of the new APA includes a version number,
such as
Job.v1.apa
, to indicate it is a different version than the original
Job.apa
file.
All aspects of imports are controlled by an import process template.
Importing an entire job using the menus
1. In Job Finder, from the
File
menu, select
