Each workflow you create in Fiery JobFlow consists of a series of modules that execute specific actions on job files. You can create multiple workflows for different types of jobs, each containing a different group of modules.

The following modules are available in Fiery JobFlow:

Fiery Preflight: Uses a Fiery Preflight preset, which has been configured on the Fiery Server you have designated for output, to check a job before printing for errors. All presets configured on the Fiery Server will be displayed. If no presets have been configured, the default preset will be displayed.

Input Sources: Used as the input source to the workflow. You can import files from a number of locations: SMB, FTP or sFTP, a Dropbox account, or a SmartFolder that has been set up on the Fiery JobFlow server.

Each of these locations must be set up by the Fiery JobFlow administrator, and multiple instances for each type of location can be set up.

SmartFolder is a folder which acts as an input queue for job submission to a specific workflow. There is one-to-one mapping between the workflow and the SmartFolder. Each SmartFolder will be created under a root folder called “SmartFolders”.

Approve: Sends job to reviewers for approval. The reviewers can be Fiery JobFlow users or external reviewers. Fiery JobFlow users can approve or decline jobs from anywhere. External reviewers have no direct access to Fiery JobFlow, but receive email requests from the Fiery JobFlow administrator to review the jobs. External reviewers can approve/reject the job by looking at the job content and any PitStop Enfocus report.

Convert: Allows you to process and convert different file types into Adobe PDF files. The following file types are supported: Microsoft Word/PowerPoint/Excel/Publisher, GIF, PICT, DIB, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, and PostScript.

Preflight: Allows you to inspect an incoming job based on Enfocus PitStop PDF profiles. Preflighting checks a PDF file to see if it conforms to a set of standards defined in the PitStop PDF Profile that is used. A description of each Preflight Profile can be viewed by selecting the profile name from the Profiles menu. You can select from the standard Preflight Profiles, or can apply Variable Sets created in Enfocus PitStop Pro to Smart Preflight Profiles.

Image Enhance: Provides automated image correction of images in PDF documents. Choose from the Presets in Image Enhance Visual Editor in Command WorkStation installed on Fiery JobFlow server. The Fiery Server you are sending jobs to must support either Fiery Graphic Arts Package, Standard or Fiery Productivity Package.

Impose: Allows you to apply different imposition templates to a job. Command WorkStation v5.5 must be installed on the same computer as Fiery JobFlow to use Fiery Impose templates. The imposition templates include both the default templates supplied with Fiery Impose, and any custom templates that have been created. If Fiery Impose has an active license, both custom and default templates are available.

Correct: Allows you to apply Enfocus PitStop Actions to an incoming job. Actions added to a workflow are used to automatically apply modifications to the file, such as adding page numbers, converting colors, or adjusting resolution of images. You can select from the standard Action Lists, or you can apply Variable Sets created in Enfocus PitStop Pro to Smart Action Lists.

Output: Allows you to choose from either the Fiery Server or the Fiery Central printer group selected during setup, a Dropbox account, SMB, or (s)FTP location. For the selected Fiery Server or Fiery Central printer group, you can select from the list of presets shown. The presets are the server presets on the selected Fiery Server or Fiery Central printer group.

The administrator can specify/configure module settings. See Module settings.
