The best way to manage your jobs is to create the jobs correctly in the first place. Quick Sets automatically attach pre-selected settings to your jobs. Because Quick Sets are chosen when the job is first created, creating custom Quick Sets to match your workflow is the best way to ensure your jobs are managed automatically and efficiently.
