Selecting Checklists

Which GreenLight checklist to run is chosen in different ways for different versions of Greenlight.

GreenLight FREE users can select the checklist they wish to run next from a list of existing free and accessibility checklists by choosing GreenLight Set-Up menu > Set active Checklist).

GreenLight PRO users can select the checklist they wish to run next from the full list of available checklists by choosing GreenLight Set-Up menu > Set active Checklist). A tool for GreenLight PRO users to make and manage their own checklists is in development. In the meantime please contact us to request new checklists.

GreenLight Custom users have control of their file naming and so the section identifiers in the document filename are used to switch to the most relevant checklist every time the GreenLight process is run.

In this way, the checklist to run by the GreenLight is tailored to the type of section (e.g. whether the InDesign document is a PLC, a paper jacket, a prelim or a section of internal pages), the user, the publisher and workflow status. The section is identified to GreenLight by the InDesign document name.

If a document name does not match the file naming set out in the publisher's File Creation Policy then the default checklist Internal Pages - Final is used by default.

See Add / Amend book Info for more on how workflow status can be used to alter which checklist is to be run.
