Create a rule that prepares a Storefront catalog item for output to a digital press.
What the rule does
The rule waits for InSite Storefront to change the the job status to Production. When that event occurs, Prinergy RBA does the following tasks:
- Reads the Storefront order
- Combines the content file and the XML order information into a document for digital printing
- E-mails the prepress operator if either process fails
An operator can then submit the documents to the digital press queue, using the Prinergy Digital Direct software.
Why it is useful
Automates the production workflow for Storefront orders.

Where to enable it
This rule is suitable for enabling in specific jobs. Create a separate rule set for each Storefront product.
Other considerations
The actions that you include in your Storefront rule depend on what type of Storefront product you are setting up: whether customers will upload print-ready files, order static items from a print catalog, order personalized items from a print catalog, or order non-print inventory items (such as T-shirts).
