There are three types of nodes:
-
Group Node
- Pool Node
- Queue Node
The Group Node is made up of Printshop Users, usually performing similar
tasks.
The Pool Node is a place to send jobs that need to go to a specific node only
when users in that node are ready to perform the job. Jobs do not move from
a pool node – they are grabbed by users in the next node in a workflow by
use of the [Grab] menu of [Job Ticket Menu]. For details about the [Grab]
menu, see “Printgroove POD Guide User’s Guide”.
The Queue Node is included in the workflow to send the job to Printgroove
POD Queue for printing. When POD Queue has finished with the document,
the document will come back to the next node defined in the workflow.
There are two types of Workflow paths:
-
Standard : Jobs are kept to a predetermined workflow path.
- Advanced : Jobs are allowed to move to other nodes without restriction.
