- Name: A name for your new Workflow. This field is required. Lucidiom Support recommends a brief description of products included and/or sizing information. Example: Standard prints, up to 8x10
- Description: A description of the Workflow. This may be used internally to add additional identifying information such as where the photos will be stored or what type of processing will be done.
- Enable this Workflow: The check box enables the use of the Workflow for the selected settings. To disable a Workflow, un-check the box.
- Outbound tab Settings:
The Outbound tab specifies the format for Lab 50 to use when exporting images for processing through ColorFlow.- Require operator interaction: If this option is checked, orders will not be sent through for ColorFlow processing until a lab operator manually clicks the send SEND button. Please see the screenshot to the right captioned "Orders Queued for ColorFlow Processing" as an example of the on-screen notification.
- Copy photos to folder: If this option is checked, you'll need to enter the folder path to use for saving a copy of the order photos. You may use a local folder, mapped network drive, or network path as long as the user account has read/write access to the necessary folder. If the location for storage is on a networked computer, Lucidiom Support recommends using the UNC path to access the location to minimize connection issues. Example: \\labserver\StandardPrints\
- Create order subfolders: To create individual order folders within your destination folder, check this box.
- Override order folder suffix: To change the order folder suffix, check this box and enter the preferred suffix.

Lucidiom Support recommends that if you are including a job file that it is output to the same location as your photos folder specified under the "Copy photos to folder" location.
