Use the IS Screen Set Editor to create and edit IS screen sets. You cannot use the Process Template Editor to edit IS screen sets.
IS screen sets must be defined before you select them in the process template. You cannot change most settings in the process template. You must use the IS Screen Set Editor to set up specific frequency, dot shape, and angle combinations before you can select them in the process template. You can assign or change existing screen angles in the Process Template Editor.
The IS Screen Set Editor is installed on the Prinergy primary server. It is generally easier to use a remote connection to the server when you want to use the IS Screen Set Editor.
