Create an LPV job from a template job when you have already produced a very similar job, for example, if you are producing a versioned weekly flyer. This enables you to reuse version plans.
Supported template job types
When creating an LPV job from a template job, you can use either a non-versioning job or an LPV job as the template.
Note: You cannot use a legacy versioning job as the template.
LPV job attributes in the template
If the template job is an LPV job, you can use LPV job attributes from a template job.
The new job can adopt the entire versioning plan from the template job. The LPV job attributes are all elements that are viewable from the Version Plan view, including the:
- Versions and layers
- Colors to extract (from the refined page)
- Plate mapping
- Page name patterns
Important: Elements in the Versioned Pages view are not adopted in the template job.
Perform the following as appropriate:
