00:00:08:12 - 00:00:09:16
Various additional

00:00:09:16 - 00:00:13:10
documents and files may be available
as part of your jobs.

00:00:13:25 - 00:00:16:22
These include packaging slips, invoices,

00:00:16:22 - 00:00:20:28
job tickets, files uploaded
via product attributes

00:00:20:28 - 00:00:25:16
such as, say, additionally provided
artwork and batch data.

00:00:25:17 - 00:00:29:14
So for example, such as employee details

00:00:29:21 - 00:00:33:18
for batch population of business cards
in MegaEdit, for example,

00:00:34:24 - 00:00:38:25
by default these files are available
for manual download from shared prints.

00:00:38:25 - 00:00:41:07
Operations, however, can be configured

00:00:41:07 - 00:00:45:01
to be automatically copied to the relevant
hot folders.

00:00:45:07 - 00:00:48:10
In addition, this tutorial will also talk
about controlling

00:00:48:10 - 00:00:51:28
the naming conventions
of those additional job files

00:00:52:12 - 00:00:56:22
and downloading additional job files
directly from shared print operations.

00:00:57:00 - 00:01:00:25
In case you want to do that.

00:01:00:25 - 00:01:05:14
So the first thing we're going to do
is to navigate to shared print operations.

00:01:05:27 - 00:01:07:02
and I'm just going to filter

00:01:07:02 - 00:01:10:08
that to show relevant files.

00:01:11:02 - 00:01:14:16
If I expand one of those jobs
and scroll down a little bit,

00:01:14:28 - 00:01:16:29
I will get to the download section.

00:01:18:09 - 00:01:20:24
So any available documents of the types

00:01:20:24 - 00:01:24:16
I was just talking about will be available
from this download section

00:01:25:07 - 00:01:28:04
of that particular job
in the shared print operations.

00:01:29:12 - 00:01:32:12
This has recently been changed as well,
so these can now be downloaded

00:01:32:12 - 00:01:49:26
to the local machine
just by clicking on the relevant blue box.

00:01:51:05 - 00:01:53:10
Next,
we're going to navigate to hot folders

00:01:53:10 - 00:02:01:04
and print locations,
and then we're going to move across

00:02:01:04 - 00:02:02:25
to hot folder settings.

00:02:03:04 - 00:02:04:06
So we have a setting here,

00:02:04:06 - 00:02:07:10
which is to copy
additional items to hot folders.

00:02:07:22 - 00:02:11:05
So what this allows you to do
is the tooltip says if you want to copy

00:02:11:05 - 00:02:14:15
any additional items
like your packaging slips or invoices

00:02:14:29 - 00:02:17:01
directly to the hot folders.

00:02:17:01 - 00:02:19:10
So rather than having
to manually download them,

00:02:19:18 - 00:02:22:04
they can be automatically copied
into the relevant hot folder.

00:02:23:22 - 00:02:24:28
Check that item and a few

00:02:24:28 - 00:02:27:00
more options will appear.

00:02:30:20 - 00:02:31:15
And then underneath

00:02:31:15 - 00:02:34:17
there you can see
we've got a few different options

00:02:35:12 - 00:02:39:12
for the different document types
easy packaging, slip invoice and so on.

00:02:39:26 - 00:02:44:12
And then next to that is how we control
where that item is copied.

00:02:44:12 - 00:02:48:02
by default, the role when they're
not selected, so they won't be copied.

00:02:48:18 - 00:02:52:15
But if we drop down on one of those lists,
you can see that we have a list

00:02:52:15 - 00:02:55:05
of all of the different folders
that we have available

00:02:55:28 - 00:02:59:18
within the specified print locations
so we can choose any of those.

00:03:00:12 - 00:03:02:21
And then for some of them,
we also have the option

00:03:02:21 - 00:03:06:19
of best match.

00:03:06:19 - 00:03:10:23
So best match will choose the same folder
as the jobs

00:03:10:23 - 00:03:13:28
output file based on the folder mappings

00:03:17:25 - 00:03:19:00
so we can select the relevant

00:03:19:00 - 00:03:21:05
entries we want in here

00:03:27:27 - 00:03:29:26
and then just hit save.

00:03:30:03 - 00:03:34:12
Worth noting that all the actions
of copying additional items to the folders

00:03:34:12 - 00:03:39:02
will only be done one time and it's
when those conditions are met.

00:03:39:13 - 00:03:42:07
So the order will have to be paid.

00:03:42:07 - 00:03:44:11
The outputs of those particular jobs

00:03:44:11 - 00:03:46:25
will need to have been created
if it needs a job,

00:03:48:04 - 00:03:51:10
if it needs an output created
and all of the jobs

00:03:51:10 - 00:03:53:15
will need to be approved.

00:03:53:15 - 00:03:55:00
the options at the bottom of the page

00:03:55:00 - 00:03:58:14
here are about modifying job document
naming conventions.

00:03:58:28 - 00:04:02:19
So you can customize the naming
of those job related documents

00:04:02:19 - 00:04:06:21
within the settings
using a combination of static text

00:04:07:00 - 00:04:11:01
and additional tokens, such as the ones
you can see here, such as order ID

00:04:12:21 - 00:04:14:01
these tokens

00:04:14:01 - 00:04:18:00
do bring in dynamic contextual data
from elsewhere

00:04:18:00 - 00:04:22:22
in Infigo, in these cases
to do with the particular job.

00:04:23:18 - 00:04:26:17
Once you've made
all those relevant changes,

00:04:26:17 - 00:04:29:20
just click on Save.
