Creating jobs to process documents
You can create jobs to process selected documents using the Create Job action on the Documents table. For example, you can create a job to reprint documents
that were damaged after they were printed.
- Note:
- Use the Reconcile action on the Jobs table to reprint documents that are damaged during processing, for example, during the insertion process. Use the Create Job action only to reprint any documents that are damaged after the job has been reconciled.
When you create a job, you must select a workflow for the new job. For AFP jobs, the workflow must contain a step based on the BuildAFPFromDocuments step template. For PDF jobs, the workflow must contain a step based on the BuildPDFFromDocuments step template.
RICOH ProcessDirector creates a separate job for the documents in each original job unless the Advanced Document Pool extended feature is installed. The documents in the new jobs are in the order in which the Documents table displays the documents.
- In the Documents portlet on the Main page, find the documents that you want to include in one or more new jobs.To find the documents, you can use By properties, By barcode scan, or By range.
- Select all the documents that you want to include in a job.
- Click Create Job.You see the Create a Job page.
- In the Workflow field, select a workflow for the job.
- Click OK.A confirmation message shows that one or more jobs were created, and shows the number of documents in each job.
