Fixup Chains allow you to combine various Fixups in the desired order based on the set values. Thereby, the user doesn't need to manually apply Fixups successively.

The advantage is that print data is automatically corrected, optimized, and prepared for printing. With the option of exporting and importing Fixup Chains, they can now also be used in other Workflows without having to rebuild them.

If a Fixup Chain has already been created and given the desired values, the Fixup Chain can now be exported to make it available for other Workflows. The export provides you with a file with the ending .chain. This file contains all the information about the Fixup Chain. This file can be used to import the Fixup Chain.

To export a Fixup Chain, proceed as follows:

1. Select the Administration > Fixup Chains menu item.
2. In the Fixup Chains selection area, select the Fixup Chain [2] that should be exported.
3. In the Additional Functions drop-down menu [1], select the Export option [3]. This automatically starts the export process and saves the .chain file in your download directory.

The exported Fixup Chain can now be imported into another Workflow. The following information should be taken into consideration:

• If a Fixup Chain with the same name already exists in the Workflow, the ID (identification number) will be added to the name of the imported Fixup Chain.
• If variables have changed or new functions have been added between the export and import of the correction chain, the import will be prevented.

To import a Fixup Chain, proceed as follows:

1. Select Administration > Fixup Chains.
2. In the Additional Functions [4] drop-down menu then select Import [5]. A dialog is opened.
3. Upload the previously exported Fixup Chain by clicking on the dialog or using click-and-drop.
4. Click on Import [6] to complete the import.
5. The imported Fixup Chain is displayed in the Fixup Chains selection area.
