Job and Output Presets, what is the repository?

Opening package files generates a message about the settings files and importing them “into the proper repository”. What does this mean? What is the “repository”? Where is it located? What happens if I don’t do this? How does it relate to the Workflow?

It means that it will save the preset files into the corresponding sub folders on path C:\Users\Connect\workspace\configurations where it will then be available for the Connect Designer.

Thank you… ok, so it has nothing to do with the database.

The files in this folder simply show up in the Connect drop down list when working with Job and Output Settings files. Right?

This has zero interaction with the Workflow… settings files hit the workflow when sent or imported. Also right?

Thanks again. I’ve asked this question a dozen times.

Right. They are also used when doing previews or printing from the Designer.

Right again.
