New product - CP2O (Classified Pagination to Output)

Sit in this program and monitor it. Shows the following (configurable to include or exclude each category):

pages with missing images
pages with missized images
pages with errors
output pages
all pages

Shows product, edition, pub date, page, status, submitted. Status is most important column on this display.

Double-click on the page and it shows the list of ads on the page, and the status of those ads. You can change this view to other pages easily if you are focusing on one product but multiple pages.

Statuses are Output, Incomplete, Error. Error typically means a printing or output error, may be a new print device that isn't ready yet, failed FTP, similar problem. You can open the log from this screen.

When a page goes from failure to ready, it is automatically output. You can force an output for an error page with the Output button. If you don't want the page going even when it's ready, you can hold it with the Hold button. You can remove the page from the program completely. You can purge pages older than x days or with a particular date. Purge dialog applies to all pages in future, it is not a one-shot. Purge happens at night, typically around midnight. It is part of an existing cron job.

List can be sorted and filtered. Any place you see a list, you can sort and filter.

To use this app, paginators send to a different printer. They do not have to wait for the pages to be ready. They can close and go on to the next pagination.
