Diddler helped me out with the Pagination Mode, I did a job with it.
I really need to use it more tho!

Tracy, Pagination mode speeds up your workflow dramatically with bookwork.
You can't polish a Turd, but you can roll it in glitter!

It seems quicker, I will try a layout without different sheet sizes
and I might catch on better, Hey what an idea!!!

Thanks!

Be careful with multiple sheet sizes, do NOT put different sheet sizes in the same sheet group - it will result in them being on the same sheet size.

Not entirely true Paul, you can add other plate icons to your workflow and assign different sheets sizes to different plates. But you are correct in what you say if you use only 1 plate icon in the workflow.

Ah yes... i forgot that one!.... we like to use multiple tabs and label them according - example  'Cover - SRA1'  and 'Text - 630x880'..... we find it useful for other operators taking over jobs from various shifts

Sets are good, though when we upgraded to newer XMF, new server, new iMacs running Clients, whenever we used Workflow Sets, the plates would get fed straight to the 'setter to image. :o   Haven't really properly re-tested it yet.

We have been having the same issue with plates 'releasing themselves' - it coincided with a factory move and new plate platesetter. It happens to a lot of our jobs that are retrieved fro archive!   Guessing it must be a bug, we can't see any difference in the settings that are causing it.

There's a button somewhere that you can check which is written like [Hold before output]. When you restore an archive file, before releasing the workflow items for re-processing, make sure that this check box is checked.
