Defining an Output activity in a production task

The Output activity in a production task determines how output is created. To define an Output activity:

1. Create or open a production task.

2. Select Activities > Selection.

3. If it is not already selected, select Outputin the list of activities.

4. Click the Output folder.

5. To delete the original images after the output is created, select Delete instances after output in the General settings.

6. To require confirmation of completed documents before they can leave the system, select Output confirmed instances only. (You MUST also select Confirm documents in the Production task dialog: General Verify settings.)

7. SelectImage to display the Image settings. Use the Image settings to specify:

   • How to handle image conversion, if any. Please refer to the description of the settings for important information.

   • Whether to move image files – and to which location. Click Browse to select the location. 

     Alternatively, select <ARCHIVE> to use the location specified for the ARCHIVE variable (or a subdirectory of that location). To specify a subdirectory, select <ARCHIVE>, then add a backslash and the name of a subdirectory, so that it looks like this: <ARCHIVE>\SubdirectoryName

     Note: You cannot move images to a subdirectory that is also used for importing image files.

8. A final property, determined by the output method used in the production task, is displayed if an add-on is configured. Click this property to display and specify:

   • The XML output settings.

   • The Email output settings.

   • The settings for any other type of output.

 
Note: The output is affected by the output methods that you specify (see instructions).
