Saving Time With Apple Qmaster
The Apple Qmaster interface includes some additional features that you may
find convenient.
 Duplicating jobs: To duplicate a job, select it and click the Duplicate button, which
is next to the Remove ( – ) button. This is especially useful if you want to submit
similar jobs. You can make copies of the same job and then edit values in
Apple Qmaster as needed.
 History: By clicking the History button, you can view the dates and names of
batches that have been sent previously from Apple Qmaster, and you can drag
them to the batch list in the Apple Qmaster window to add a copy of them to a
batch you are creating. To drag a job or batch from the History table in
Apple Qmaster, select the first column of the job or batch, then drag. The History
drawer also has a Progress column that indicates the current status of all
processing batches. It is updated every 5 seconds.
 Saving a batch: To save a copy of a batch you have created with Apple Qmaster, in
case you may need to resubmit it, choose File > Save As.
