By default, when a process is selected and added in either Prepress or Postpress the system presents an entry screen that allows user to add in various adjustments to the process in order to reflect how the process will calculate. However, if the process is setup to automatically calculate the cost based on certain options, the user, in fact does not have to adjust any variables.
For example; a prepress preflight process based on the the option Calculate Qty using Page Count would use the values entered and calculated by the system on the Layout tab to arrive at the total number of pages for the component. It is in these cases that the user is not required to enter any additional values to perform the calculation.
A process with this option selected will automatically add the process and the entry screen will not open. Rather the user will be allowed to simply select the next process to be entered. Should the need present itself the user may Edit the entry screen for review or editing.
