This feature became enabled with BLOX Total CMS for Adobe InDesign version 5.12.28 and BLOX Total CMS Appliance OS 2.9 that includes Page Tracker version 0.8
Page Tracker Configuration
With Page Tracker 0.8 installed, login with administrator privileges to your primary domain. Choose Desktop / Editorial / Page tracker. Click once on the Gear icon to open the Application Settings.
Pagetracker Settings Configuration
Continuing above, choose Application settings>NITF panel to expand,
Check Export NITF from Pages.
To include all children assets in the export, check Include files
Enter the name of the NITF Directory to place the NITF files into if other than the default.
Under "Export Options: choose one of the three:
Normal - all files in the folder
Pub code prefix - each file prefixed with pubcode; all files in one folder
Pub code sub-dir - file saved in sub folders named by pub-code
Click "Save" icon in NITF panel to save the changes.
Adobe InDesign Output Preference Configuration
Locate your domain's Output Preferences XML file. This is generally found in
\\ vip \ domain_local \ tcms_indesign \ Output Preferences \
The name is controlled by the site, but it should be the only XML file in the directory. Open the file for Editing. Find the method that sends the Final Output to Page Tracker. There is no way to know what this is called at a site. However, you are looking for methods or menu groups with this:
<outputType>pagetracker</outputType>
Add at least the following option:
It would be ideal if the Menu Group or Output Method also set the page's workflow process to the final process in the Pages workflow using something like this option:
<assignPageWorkflow>
<workflow>Pages</workflow>
<process>Final</process>
</assignPageWorkflow>
Save and Cose the XML Preferences file. The resultant XML Blob might look like this if you check it in a browser:
<menuGroup>
<menuGroupName>segment Testing</menuGroupName>
<outputType>pagetracker</outputType>
<preset>PageTracker</preset>
<NITF>true</NITF>
<method>
<menuName>Final It Please</menuName>
<assignPageWorkflow>
<workflow>Pages</workflow>
<process>Final</process>
</assignPageWorkflow>
<includeCoordinates>true</includeCoordinates>
</method>
</menuGroup>
