Though most job information is generated automatically, you can set some optional job attributes to help you track a job's due dates and status. You also set job attributes to enable a default ColorFlow snapshot for the job and to select a default color setup for the job. You can set job attributes when you create a job, or later in Job Finder or Job Manager.

Job attributes include:

• What the default ColorFlow snapshot is for the job and the job's default color setup

• The RIP to use for the job
• Regional versioning. If you are using legacy versioning, it is the maximum number of pages that you can assign to a page position. Regional versioning is also called layers for versioning.
• Due date and times for the proof and the final output
• Job code
• Job status
• Whether to enable the job for Web access by a specific print buyer through Prepress Portal

Job attributes are optional; you do not have to set them to successfully run a job.
You can set and view job attributes in the Job Attributes dialog box and view job attributes in the Job Finder columns.
