Production Knowledge Base

Practical workflow

Route a question to the evidence that answers it

Example

Searching ‘bleed’ should not produce a generic definition alone. The entry explains that bleed extends artwork beyond trim and links directly to preflight, where the actual job geometry can be checked. The same pattern connects PPI to Studio, imposition to the imposition planner and revision control to Job Core.

Interpretation

The index is intentionally small and operational. It focuses on terms that change a production decision rather than trying to reproduce a printing encyclopedia inside the application.

Boundary

Queries stay in the browser. If the answer depends on a provider-specific tolerance or legal requirement, the knowledge entry points back to external specification authority rather than presenting a universal rule.

Why this module exists

Production context around the calculation.

Operational definitions beat jargon

Entries explain when a term changes a real production decision and link to the tool that can test it.

Search stays local

The knowledge index ships with the page and does not transmit the query.

Provider-specific rules remain external

The knowledge base explains concepts while final tolerances come from the production specification.
