Layout Job Grouping

Layout Job Grouping

What

The Layout Job Grouping function allows you to group various images on the canvas and apply finishing, labelling and marking features to the images as a group, rather than individually.

How

  • Open Layout and add multiple jobs or send jobs from Editor
  • Select a subgroup of images and go to Edit -> Group


  • Selecting any finishing/labels/marks will apply these to all images and the group as a whole.
  • If the Group is selected the required finishing (e.g. label info) is applied to only the group.
  • Below you will see the difference between 4 jobs that are grouped together vs 2 that are separated.


  • To ungroup -> select the group, go to Edit -> Ungroup
