Package Central Description

Allows you to automate your workflow. Package Central is intended to run on a dedicated machine which should not beused for any other tasks when Package Central is running. Package Central performs all its tasks automatically and can run absolutely unattended. Package Central does not require any special InDesign because it is a standalone application. Here are some key features of "Package Central": · Package Central - Package Central runs on a dedicated machine and watches hotfolders assigned to its workflows. · Workflows - Workflow is a group of settings applied to a hotfolder. Jobs in the hotfolder will be processed with the workflow settings. Hotfolders: · A hotfolder is assigned to each workflow. The InDesign files in hotfolders will be automatically packaged with the settings of the linked workflows. Each hotfolder contains the following folders (which are created automatically once you choose the hotfolder): · Processing - Contains the InDesign file which is currently being processed. · The file is moved into the folder by Package Central automatically. After the file is processed, it’s moved automatically to either Done of Errors folder. Users should never put anything into the Processing folders, or move files from there when · Package Central is working. · Done - Contains successfully processed InDesign files. · Errors - Contains InDesign files that have been skipped due to errors. · Out - This is the default output folder. The final packages are placed there, unless a different package location is specified in the workflow settings. E-mail Notifications: · Package Central can send automatic e-mail notifications during processing. In each workflow you specify whether to send the notifications or not, and which E-mail Template to use. You create E-mail Templates in the E-mail Setup tab of the Package Central Settings. And in the E-mail Rules tab, you specify the events to trigger the notifications. Automatic Font Activation: · Package Central can automatically activate fonts submitted with the InDesign file to a hotfolder. For the font activation to work, the job should be collected into a Job Folder which contains the InDesign file and its fonts in the Fonts folder. Package · Central can activate both Mac and PC fonts. · XMP Variables · Package Central can compose variable output file names based on the InDesign document XMP metadata. This powerful feature is enabled through XMP Variables, where you define which XMP tags to use for variable values. Logs and History: · All the Package Central activity is logged into the process History. You can instantly view the activity History for each file in the History palette. The general daily logs of all activity are also created in this folder: ~/Library/Application Support/Zevrix/Package Central/Logs Remote Monitoring: · To monitor and control Package Central remotely from users stations, please use the VNC technology (we recommend the Chicken of the VNC application). Requirements: · Adobe InDesign CS/CS2/CS3/CS4 What's New in This Release: · Initial release.
