Setting - Expand Other Jobs on Proof Details by Default
When accessing the proofing screen from a job that is on an order with other jobs; only details for the job you have accessed the proofing screen through, will be expanded by default:
In the example above, the order has 3 jobs in total and the proofing screen has been accessed via J003528-01. Therefore, proof details for J003528-01 are expanded and are collapsed the other two jobs.
This is controlled by the setting; ‘Expand Other Jobs on Proof Details by Default’:
Change this to ‘ON’ and proof details will always be expanded for all jobs when the proofing screen loads. This is a global setting.
This setting can be found under Admin -> Customise -> Settings -> Production
