Exported Production Jobs can be analyzed in this menu item of the Applications in the PPD Toolbox Collection. After loading an exported job, users are shown a summary of the most important key data. It is possible to open all the files of the export directly here and then analyze them.

The Production Job Analyzer makes it possible to quickly analyze an exported Production Job. The basic functions are unzipping the affected ZIP files to Production Jobs, reading the key data and opening the individual files. This immediately provides users with additional information about the affected Production Job.

To access this information, proceed as follows:

1. In the open dialog of the Production Job Export Analyzer klick on File > Open Job [1] or drag the ZIP of a Production Job into the upper left text field [2].
2. In the now open dialog window, enter the name of the Production Job. Note: this name must not exceed 60 characters and will be automatically shortened if the name is longer than 60 characters [3].
