  1. You will access the Events interface in the queue where the print policy rules are displayed:

  • Network Queues (Before): Actions and rules applied to the group that the current network queue belongs to. These rules are applied to all of the queues in the group and take precedence over the rules applied to a specific queue.

  • Queue (current): The actions and rules applied to the actual queue,

  • Network Queues (After): Actions and rules applied to the group that the current network queue belongs to. These rules are applied to all of the queues in the groups after the rules applied to a specific queue.

     

Generally, rules that cannot be exceeded by a specific queue are defined for a group of queues and apply before (Network queues (Before)) the rules that apply to the queue itself. The rules that apply to a group of queues but that can be overridden by the rules for a specific queue are configured for the queue group and apply afterwards (Network queues (After)).

 

  1. To apply a rule to the network queue, click on the Edit button for the current queue.

     

     

èYou will access the Events on a queue's interface.

Presentation of the interface

The Events on a queue's interface comprises of a section where you define the events to apply when submitting a document on this queue. This interface comprises:

  • positioning buttons used to move the rules in the list of all of the rules that apply to a queue,

  • the Filter (or filters) selection field applied to the queue,

  • the Action applied to the document corresponding to the filter (this action is symbolised by pictograms),

  • the Configuration completing some of the actions, to be selected from a box,

  • a button used to delete the event.

Configure the rule onto the queue

  1. From the Document submission,

  2. in the Filter field, click on the button to access the list of filters and roles available and select the one you wish to apply,

     

  3. From the list, select the Action to apply to the documents covered by the filter. This action is symbolised by two pictograms.

The block, release, delete and redirect actions stop the event assessment process applied to the queue. Consequently, if a number of events are applied, the ones that block, release, delete or redirect must be defined last.

  1. click on the Browse button to access the list of parameters assigned to the chosen action,

  2. choose the parameter,

  3. validate your choice by clicking on the OK button.
