Creating workflows

A user creates a workflow by adding modules. Input Sources, Convert, and Output modules are automatically added to the workflow.

You can also add Connect, Fiery Preflight, Preflight, Image Enhance, Impose, Correct, and Approve modules. For information, see About modules.

You can edit a workflow by editing individual modules in the workflow or by changing the order of the modules.

  1. Click the plus sign next to the Workflows header in the Workflows tab.
  2. Type a name for your workflow.
  3. Click Create.
  4. Click the Edit button for Input Sources and select from the list of locations.

    You can add up to a maximum of four input sources.

    The locations where your workflow is saved are displayed.

  5. Add the Connect module after Input Sources to convert native jobs to a format that Fiery JobFlow supports using a third-party solution. Specify script or hot folder parameters.
  6. Click the plus sign below the Convert module to add Fiery Preflight, Preflight, Image Enhance, Impose, Correct, Connect, or Approve modules.

    For information, see Preflight settings, Correct settings, Impose settings, Connect settings, and Approve settings.

  7. Specify the settings for each and click Save.
  8. In the Output pane, select from a Fiery server, Dropbox account, SMB, or (s)FTP location.

    If you selected a Fiery server, select a preset and then click Save.

  9. As an optional step, you can add rules to each module to trigger a certain action based on the job status (passed or failed). The available rules are Archive job, Send email, Move job, Copy job, and Run script. To set a rule, click Add, define trigger (If) and action (Then), and click Save.
  10. To edit a workflow, click the workflow name in the Workflows tab to open the editing window. You can then select a module and click the Edit icon or the Delete icon.
  11. To change the order of the modules in the workflow, select a module in the right-hand pane of the editing window, and drag it to the new location you want.
