Method, apparatus, computer program, and computer readable storage media for controlling the insertion of tab sheets into a print job

A method for controlling, within a printer driver, insertion of tab sheets into a print job, the tab sheets comprising at least tab sheets of a first level of a hierarchy and tab sheets of a second level of the hierarchy, where the at least first and second level define a hierarchical structure, and wherein the at least one second level is subordinated to the first level, the method comprising:

• providing via the printer driver input fields for entry and display of parameters for defining at least one tab sheet;
• providing via the printer driver an interactive area for displaying an image representation of the first level and the at least one second level of the hierarchical structure including an insertion position and the level of the at least one defined tab sheet within the print job, the image representation comprising:
• at least one icon or number representing a page of the print job;
• at least one icon representing a tab sheet;
• at least one connector icon associating the icon representing the tab sheet with the icon or number representing the page;
• wherein, a first column of the interactive area displays the at least one icon or number representing the page, second and third columns of the interactive area respectively display the at least one icon representing a tab sheet of the first level, and the at least one icon representing a tab sheet of the at least one second level,
• wherein, the connector icon associates the icon or number representing the page, with the icon of the tab sheet which is assigned to the page of the connected icon, and
• wherein, arrangement of the at least one icon or number representing the page, and the at least one icon representing the tab sheet within the image representation, are configured to indicate the insertion position and level of the tab sheet within the print job;
• and
• in response to changes of a tab sheet defined by entered parameters, updating in the interactive area the image representation of the hierarchical structure, of the insertion position and level of the at least one changed tab sheet within the print job.
