Appendix C - Creating and using work orders
Creating a new work order
If the Xmedia Server does not contain an image or video clip asset that you require for your
template-based page, you can create a work order and job request. The work order’s job
requests that your graphic arts department create an asset that fulfills your prescribed
specifications and requirements and then ingest it into the system for your use.
Before creating a work order or job from the Xplorer application, your Xmedia Server
system must first be configured to contain a work order workflow. You must also have the
correct permission settings in your user profile to allow you to create work orders and jobs.
To create a new work order:
1.
Ensure that the Enable Work Orders setting is enabled (T OOLS >S ETTINGS >W ORK O RDER tab).
2. Select the W ORK O RDER button from the Xplorer toolbar.
3. Each time you begin a new Xplorer session and you attempt to create or access a work
order or a job, the V
ERTIGO X MEDIA L OGIN window (figure 8-1 ) appears and prompts you
to sign in using a user name and password. If you do not have a user name and
password, contact your IT department and ask them to add you to the Xmedia Server’s
W
ORKFLOW >U SERS properties in the Xmedia Server’s control panel.

Once you enter your user name and password, click OK and the Work Order Window
appears (figure

The entire login step is avoided if the Windows user name matches the user name in the
XmediaServer Properties’ Workflow options. If this is the case, then the user will automatically be
logged on under the logged in name and the V
ERTIGO X MEDIA L OGIN window does not even appear.
