Looking up Digital Resource Information

The Virtual Ticket Developer QuarkXPress XTension allows users to look up digital resource information in Virtual Ticket Developer for open QuarkXPress documents as well as for images and files referenced within them (such files are commonly referred to as “linked files”).

Looking up digital resource information for an open document

1. Open the document in QuarkXPress.
2. Select View Digital Resource from the Virtual Ticket™ menu in QuarkXPress. Virtual Ticket Developer will display the digital resource information of the open QuarkXPress document in the Browser window.

Note: You have to save your newly created document to the disk before looking up its digital resource information in Virtual Ticket Developer.

When an image/file referenced in Virtual Ticket Developer is placed within a QuarkXPress document, it is possible to quickly look up information about the digital resource in Virtual Ticket Developer.

Looking up digital resource information for placed images/files

1. Open the document in QuarkXPress.
2. In QuarkXPress select the image/file whose digital resource information you want to look up in Virtual Ticket Developer. To look up digital resource information for multiple images/files simultaneously, select multiple images/files in the QuarkXPress document.

3. Select View Digital Resource from the Virtual Ticket Developer™ menu. Virtual Ticket Developer will become active and display in the Browser window the digital resource information of the image/file you have selected in the QuarkXPress document. If you have selected multiple images/files, multiple Browser windows will appear, each displaying information for one of the selected images/files.

NOTE: Both QuarkXPress and Virtual Ticket Developer must be running in order to look up digital resource information. The image/file you have selected must also have a record within the Virtual Ticket Developer database.
