Use the tools and settings in the Press Runs List to manually build and manage a job's press runs. You can also use AutoGang, AutoSelect, product intent for assemblies, or JDF automation to generate the list. Selecting a press run, sheet, web, or side in the Press Runs List displays it in the workspace.
Tip: Drag the column edges to adjust their widths. Drag the column headers to rearrange the columns.
Duplicate Sheet
Adds a copy of the current press run with layout and without content.
Right-click this tool to insert a duplicate of the current press-run layout as a new web in the same press run. Adding a web to a sheetfed press run converts it to a web press run. When you use the Duplicate Sheet button to duplicate a press run, you can designate the number of duplicated press runs and specify whether to place them before, after, or between other press runs in the list.
Note: You can also designate number and placement when you duplicate or create new sheets using the Edit menu or a keyboard shortcut: Command+D or Ctrl+D for duplicating or Command+T or Ctrl+T for adding.
Delete Sheet
Removes the current press run and any layouts that it contains.
- Right-click this tool to delete a web of the current press-run layout.

Run Length
The number of times that this press run must run through the press to print the required product quantity.

Generate Press Runs
The required number of press runs and impositions is automatically generated, and the run-list pages flow into position according to the template page numbering.
