Production Workflow Considerations What to think about before creating your production workflow: • What are the production set parameters? – Are there multiple responsiveness or privilege fields? – Are there multiple markup sets? •
Include relevant fields in the production set search results
•
Consider setting up a consistent production set QC system – Use production set tag – Update production set QC searches for new tag or use temporary tag
•
How are inconsistencies treated?
•
Is there a specific production order?
