Job creation

You can upload one or multiple files to ColorProof via ColorProof GO. The files are automatically sent to the selected workflow on the connected GMG ColorProof system and printed.

How to create a job in GMG ColorProof GO

1. On the Jobs page, click the + NEW FILE button.
2. Drag-and-drop one or multiple files on the drop zone, or click to browse.
   
3. Select the ColorProof system and the workflow that you want the file to be processed in. If you have many systems and workflows, type to filter the lists.
4. Click Upload.
   Once the upload and transfer to the connected GMG ColorProof system is complete (this takes a few seconds), the job will show up in the job list and you can monitor the job status.

How does it work?

The document is uploaded to the GMG ColorProof GO cloud and subsequently downloaded by the connected GMG ColorProof system. The document is deleted from the cloud immediately after the download. The document is then processed by the workflow in the same way as if it was added directly on the local computer. Of course, this includes all workflow features such as nesting and load balancing. The Smart Hotfolder is also supported.

There is only one difference between a job created by GMG ColorProof GO and a job created by a local GMG ColorProof system. A job created by GMG ColorProof GO is designated only to a single workflow. You cannot use a common hotfolder connected to multiple cascaded workflows. If an input file does not match the File Filter settings in the workflow, the file will not be recognized and thus not be processed. Unrecognized files will not show up in the job list, neither in GMG ColorProof nor in GMG ColorProof GO. (They will show up only in the Unrecognized Files list in GMG ColorProof.)
