Abstract: A print job intended for subsequent printing operations includes complex and simple pages. Each page is analyzed for a page complexity determination. A base page weight related to engine speed of the print engine is compared against a page weight of the page to determine whether the page is complex. A complex page is one with a page weight equal to or greater than the base page weight. If the page is complex, then it is rendered by the RIP system and stored. If the page is simple, then it is not rendered but will be rendered when the job is printed as it can be rendered at engine speed. A complexity model and complexity rules also are used to enhance the determination process.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for creating a descriptor for a dashboard template. The column-to-visualization mappings are extracted from a dashboard of a created or modified dashboard (or a created or modified dashboard template). Furthermore, the concept combinations from each visualization of the dashboard are extracted. Additionally, topics from the dashboard are extracted. The concept combinations, topics and column-to-visualization mappings are aggregated into a dashboard template descriptor. The dashboard template descriptor is then stored. In this manner, the dashboard template descriptor captures how concept combinations are used in the visualizations of the dashboard as well as how high-level concepts (topics) are incorporated in the dashboard. Furthermore, the dashboard template descriptor captures how the concepts of the columns of a dataset are mapped to the visualizations of the dashboard.
