Workgroup print sharing - Shared Queues
Shared Queues Overview
Description
Shared queues are specific version of secured queues. They enable multiple users to access selected documents (in accordance with the users' rights). All jobs sent to the shared queue are automatically accessible to all users with access rights to that queue.
See Configuring and using Shared Queues for configuration and deployment information.
User Stories
Shared Queues - As a User I want to print my documents in the way so that my colleagues working in the same workgroup can release them on the printers (using Print roaming story)
Requirements
User shall be able to print the document and share it automatically by administrator-defined group of users.
Defined users should be able to list and release print jobs shared by another user via Terminal
User shall be able to see the author of the print job at the job list (Print job list management and re-print)
Dependencies / Non Functional Requirements
Print roaming with print queue management and re-print must be configured.
Print drivers must send print data to SafeQ server using YSoft SafeQ Client
Printers must be equipped by terminal with graphical display (Professional or Embedded)
Caveats
Shared print jobs are also available on "print all" user action of print queue management.
Released print job changes owner to person who released it and thus is being accounted to this person, not the originating author!
Document is removed from the Shared queue after it has been released to the printer. The name of document's job-queue is changed by adding prefix "shared-".
Marking shared job as favorite is not supported at the moment.
Licensing
Workgroup print sharing feature is a standalone licensed feature since YSoft SafeQ 5.0 with following limitation if license for the feature expires or is not available in a license. Please see License content per version to review all SafeQ version and availability of a feature.

Terminal does not display jobs sent to shared queue which has been created in a system while license was valid.
