Label Studio (Smart Workflow)

General

The General Pane have basic Job settings and Frame Layout settings. The General Pane is the one pane that is always enabled.

Job Settings

The Target Media can be set via the adjacent button which will open the Select target media dialog. Here you will see a view of the media in SPC at the time of opening the dialog with an indication of which media is Active. The media selected will be the target media of the output job and the media width is used as the maximum width the frame can be.

The Job Copies will not change the pdf directly but sets the copies property on the output job.

The Job Description is to be filled in by the user to desribe the actions performed by the studio file, this helps provide additional identification for loaded studio files.

Frame Layout

The Frame Layout settings allow for setting the dimensions of the Frame and the position of the contents on the Frame.

Across & Down Web

By default the Frame dimensions are calculated automatically based on all the options selected so that the contents fits on the page.

The Frame dimensions can also be set manually with the frame width default to the media width and the frame height defaults to the source job’s height.

The postion of the contents on the frame can set with the horizontal and vertical alignment.

Frame White Space

White space can be added around the contents of the frame.

By default the white space will be visible in the output but there’s an setting that will make it so in the output job the white space isn’t visible but will be in the printed output. This can be set for the white space across web and down web separately.
