Hi, folks. In this movie, you know, we're going to create a Ground Control set from scratch.
In the previous movie, we created a Ground Control set based on
another ground control set.
And in that last movie, we started out, we have the sets up here,
MySet
and MySet02.
So, MySet was a copy of the default set and then we modified it.
And then we created a copy of MySet and called it MySet02. So, that's where we're
sitting right now.
And what I'd like to do is with MySet02.
Let's actually bring this back up again here.
I want to click Turn All Off.
This is going to deselect all of the checkboxes in every area of the
Ground Controls window.
So, let's go ahead to Turn All Off.
We'll click OK,
and what you'll notice here,
and we have a different parts of the screen, so I'm going to click there to reverse that,
is that in all of the windows here, nothing is in red or blue anymore.
In our overview window,
excuse me, our Results window,
the job appears to be okay, the reason being that we've turned off
all of the things that are being checked.
They're still present, but we haven't told FlightCheck to flag it as an error
or warning.
And over here in our Overview window,
information is still being presented, but there's nothing in blue or red.
It's just presenting that, hey, we have a missing image.
We know the type of image. All of this stuff has been turned off in the
Ground Controls.
So, I'm going to set up a really, really basic set right now.
We'll keep it real simple.
And we'll start in the Images tab area here.
What I want to do for the Images tab area is I want to set an error
if the resolution of a color or grayscale image
is less than 300 or greater than 400 dpi.
And remember this is effective resolution.
And I want to set an error condition if an image is flagged as missing.
We'll leave everything else off right now in the image area.
So, I'm going to go ahead and
click twice here in Missing,
and you'll notice that we've got Missing here
and Missing here and this area here. I have to click up here to refresh that.
So now,
in the window, we've completely refreshed the window. We have our missing flag,
and then our Resolution. I'm going to click twice,
and we're going to set that error there, as well.
Now, under the Fonts area,
I want to go ahead and just select two items under here. This'll be under status.
I want to select Missing Used Screen Font
and Missing Used Printer Font
and we'll turn those on by default,
or we'll turn those on by default for this Ground Control set.
So, let's go ahead and click twice in there
and set those.
And then under the Color tab, I want to set up this rule set for 4-color jobs.
If somebody uses an actual spot color in the job,
I want to have that flag as an error.
So, I'm just going to turn on this Ground Control right here: Uses Spot Color.
We'll double-click in here and set that.
And now we're all set.
We've set up with just a few simple rules here,
a basic Ground Control set that'll check for images
outside of a certain resolution range, missing images, missing fonts,
and spot colors.
Now, the next thing: I've worked really hard, I've thought about this set.
I've set up test jobs. I want to lock the set.
Again, when we lock the set, everything grays out down here, so we can't edit anything.
And if I really want to protect the set,
what I want to do now is actually apply a password.
So, we're going to come in here and we're going to apply a password to our
Ground Control set, and this is on a
per-Ground-Control-set basis.
It's not for every Ground Control set, for the current one
that you're working with.
So, I'm going to go ahead and select Password.
It's going to ask me to enter a password.
I'll enter a password.
Now, it's going to ask me to go ahead and re-enter my password and this is to
confirm it. So, if I typed it wrong, we'll see what happens here.
Let's say that I type the password incorrectly. This is just going to
recycle or tell me it doesn't match,
and it's going to pop it up and go, "Hey, give me a new password."
So, let's put our password back in.
This time, I'll enter the same password twice,
and you can see the menu just disappears.
And if I click on the lock icon, I'm asked to put in my password.
If I type it wrong,
what happens is that it just cycles around forever, until you hit Cancel.
If I do put in the correct password,
I'm actually able to edit the job now.
And even when I try and relock the job, after I'm done,
I need to lock that guy back up again.
So, very quickly here, we've created our own
custom Ground Control set from scratch,
getting just the basic things that are most important for our jobs:
images out of resolution range, missing images, missing fonts,
and spot colors for 4-color jobs.
