Workflows that store jobs and data in a repository

Workflows in the Archive feature can be created to store jobs, documents, properties, history information, or a combination of these in one or more repositories. Workflow steps based on the StoreInRepository step template are used to store the files and data.

You can store any type of job, but you can view only AFP and PDF files after they have been archived. You do not have to save jobs or documents to store properties or history information.
