ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for organizing files associated with a job ticket in a computer system linked to a storage device. The job ticket includes information on a document included in a print job, information on a plurality of files that are associated with the document, and location information indicating the location of the files. The user specifies a directory location in the storage device in which to copy the job ticket and related print job files. The files are accessed using the location information and copied, along with the job ticket, to the user specified directory location in the storage device. The invention may further include the step of modifying the location information to indicate that the files copied to the directory location are in a location relative to the location of the job ticket. The user may enter the directory location using a GUI on a computer. With the disclosed system, the computer system can organize files located on different computers linked together over a network into a common directory location within the network.
