Smart Hotfolder

This hotfolder type is not included in the standard GMG ColorProof version and requires an additional license. Please contact your local dealer for details.

Smart Hotfolder with Smart Hotfolder Rule Set.

A Smart Hotfolder allows you to process files with different proof standard requirements with just one workflow connected. This way, you can reduce 1:1 Hotfolder and Workflow combinations which often use the same parameters and only differ with regard to the proof standard or profile.

To use different proof standards with just one workflow, a Rule Set can be defined, comprising rules on how the proof standard or profile should be selected automatically from the image file name or file location. Basically, this approach is similar (though less complex) to using a job ticket, and may come in handy for workflow systems that do not output XML job tickets, or at least as a less cost-intensive alternative.

Migrate your hotfolder to a Smart Hotfolder via the context menu.
