The job template is a function for registering the entire job as one template.
You can create a job template that configures most of the settings of the workflow, from the structure to the parameters and imposition format. Using this template, you only need to add the input files.

Importing the output list to Metrix allows you to embed the template name information in a JDF when creating it with Metrix. When you create a new job by dropping a JDF which includes the template name information into a drop folder, the corresponding job template is automatically applied.
Job templates which are created in other XMF or systems other than XMF cannot be imported.
The preregistered job templates [NewDefault], [TIFF Bypass] and [Variable] are for creating new templates. They cannot be edited or deleted.
Jobs created using a variable job template cannot be connected to XMF Remote or an MIS system. Jobs created using a variable job template cannot be released to XMF Remote, and variable job templates cannot be selected on the XMF Remote side or MIS system side.
The number of pages for which the job templates of variable jobs are guaranteed to work is 125,000 pages.
