Configuring a new Workflow for editing Photos

...

  • Holding: The holding status appears when ColorFlow has been configured to only process one order at a time. Options that will require single-order processing include the following:
    • * The option to _ "Copy photos to folder" is disabled under the Outbound tab.
    • * The option to "Create Order Subfolder" is disabled under the Outbound tab, and the option to "Copy Photos to Folder" does not include an %ORDER% macro.
    • * The "New Folder" option is enabled under Inbound tab > "Photo Output Folder", but the "New Folder" path does not include an %ORDER% macro.
  • Ready to Send: This status is displayed if the "Require operator interaction to send" option is enabled. To start the ColorFlow Workflow, the lab operator will need to manually click the SEND button.
  • Preparing: This notification is displayed while Lab 50 is copying photos and any necessary order files to the editing folder for processing.
  • Waiting for Completion: This option is displayed on-screen while Lab 50 monitors for processing completion. If the Workflow is configured to "Require operator interaction to complete", a DONE button will be displayed until the operator clicks on it manually. If the WorkFlow is configured to monitor the inbound folder, folder name, or for a file complete indicator, a spinning icon will be displayed until the required completion status is reached through file count, folder renaming, or file creation.
  • Processing Output: This notification is displayed while Lab 50 is copying edited files back into the database for rendering the final product(s).
  • Complete: ColorFlow processing is complete, and the order will be sent to print after a slight pause to allow for the software cache to update.
