Managing Objects

In this section:

1. Viewing and Changing Properties
   The properties of an object are attributes such as the object name, the length and width of a paper, the size, priority, and number of copies of a job, the paper and finishing options that a printer supports, and so on.
2. Viewing Status
   Operators and administrators can view the status of a printer, workflow, or job.
3. Viewing Logs
   Each TotalFlow Production Manager object has a log that contains messages about the operations on the object, such as property changes. For jobs, the log also includes messages about its progress through TotalFlow Production Manager. If processing errors occur, error messages describe the errors.
4. Enabling Workflows and Printers
   Enabling an object makes it available to TotalFlow Production Manager. Operators and administrators can enable workflows and printers.
5. Disabling Workflows and Printers
   Disabling an object makes it unavailable to TotalFlow Production Manager. Operators and administrators can disable workflows and printers.
6. Editing Notifications
   Operators and administrators can change the names of existing notifications and the email addresses where they are sent. For printers and workflows, they can also change the object to which the notifications apply.
7. Deleting Objects
   Administrators can delete a workflow, printer, printer pool, paper, user, activity, job or report that is no longer needed. Operators can delete jobs.
8. Managing Printers
   In addition to tasks like changing properties and viewing the log, you can do the tasks in this section to printers.
