Learn about automated workflows
An automated workflow bundles a series of pre-defined job properties. You can apply an
automated workflow when you submit one or more PDF jobs.
The PRISMAsync Print Server has one factory defined (default) automated workflow. You can
create custom automated workflows in the Settings Editor.
[129] Automated workflow
You can apply an automated workflow at several locations.
• Hotfolder: The hotfolder definition has a link to one of the available automated workflows. PDF
files submitted via a hotfolder shortcut on the desktop retrieve the properties of an automated
workflow or the properties of a JDF ticket. The automated workflow properties define if the job
ticket settings are ignored or not. The system administrator can create new hotfolders. (

• LPR printing: PDF files can be submitted to the printer with an LPR command. When you print
via LPR the queue name is the name of one of the available automated workflows. Jobs
submitted via this LPR command take the job properties of the automated workflow.
• Remote printer driver: When you select the name of an automated workflow, the submitted
print job gets the properties of the automated workflow.
• Remote Manager: When you select the name of an automated workflow, the new added print
job gets the properties of the automated workflow.
The [Job label] field in the print queue refers to the name of the automated workflow. You can
select or filter print jobs according to a job label.
