Setting Server Properties

Server properties apply to the overall TotalFlow Production Manager environment. Some of the properties apply to all the jobs that TotalFlow Production Manager creates. Others apply to all users. Only administrators can set server properties.
To set server properties:
  1. Log in to TotalFlow Production Manager as an administrator.
  2. In the menu bar, click Configuration.
  3. In the Server pod, click the System graphic.

    You see the Properties for Server dialog:

    Properties for Server dialog

  4. Enter or select values for the properties that you want to change.
  5. Click OK.

In this section:

  1. Setting up Security
    You can control access to TotalFlow Production Manager with user names and passwords.
  2. Setting up an Email Server
    You can configure TotalFlow Production Manager to use a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server to send email notifications of events that happen to printers, workflows, and jobs.
  3. Setting Color Management System
    Because different devices can display colors differently, you might need to create general color settings at the server level, to convert colors from one device to another. This action is performed during the Preflight activity, which means that the jobs must be processed through a workflow that contains this activity. These settings will apply to all objects in the processed PDF files, or separately, to specific types of objects, unless other settings, like Output Intent, override them.
  4. Setting Fonts for Preflight Activity
    You can configure TotalFlow Production Manager to use certain fonts when preflighting PDF files. Save the font folders on the server before setting TotalFlow Production Manager to use them.
  5. Setting PostScript Transform options
    If you need to print PostScript files, you can configure TotalFlow Production Manager to transform them into PDF files.
