Database property names for the Advanced Transform feature

Messages might refer to advanced transform properties by their database names. Administrators can use the database property names in symbol formulas that they specify for external programs. Administrators can also specify symbol formulas for properties in control files.

Some of the values that you see in drop-down lists in the user interface are not the same as the values that RICOH ProcessDirector uses internally. When you make some requests using web services or set values using an overrides file, you must use the internal value. The Internal values column lists the internal values for those properties. If an internal value is listed as a Timestamp, it is stored as a Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). UTC values are stored in this format: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.fffffffff

  • yyyy is the 4-digit year
  • mm is the 2-digit numerical abbreviation for the month
  • dd is the 2-digit day
  • hh is the 2-digit hour
  • mm is the 2-digit minute
  • ss is the 2-digit second
  • fffffffff is the fraction of a second to 9 decimal places and is optional

In the Editable column:

  • Yes means that an authorized user can change the value.
  • No means that an authorized user cannot change the value.

In the Job ticket column:

  • Yes means that the property can be set from one or more values in the job ticket.
  • No means that the property cannot be set from values in the job ticket.
