In the [Sheet Groups] pane, set sheets as a sheet group for each individual workflow item. For the sheet groups set here, assigning sheet groups to workflow items enables the output settings to be configured by sheet group.
The sheet group list displays the sheet IDs of the sheets belonging to each added sheet group as well as the workflow set and workflow item that were set and other information related to the sheet group. The settings can also be edited from the context menu.
When it is necessary to adjust the imposition of a sheet group assigned to a workflow item, such as after changing the press immediately before printing, the imposition can be edited in the plates adjustment mode.
The plate and sheet size of the sheets belonging to a sheet group all become the same.
Sheets with different [Binding Edge] settings cannot be assigned to the same sheet group.
If sheets with different work styles are set for the same group, the Step and Repeat setting cannot be changed.
An empty sheet group with no sheets assigned can also be set.
Assigning each sheet of a sheet group containing multiweb compatible signatures to a different sheet group enables assigning to separate workflow items.
To assign a sheet group to a workflow item, select the sheet group and drag and drop it on to the workflow item, or select the sheet group in [Imposition] pane - [Template].
