Asynchronous Tech Pack Generation
You have the option to asynchronously generate tech packs. Rather than requiring you to wait until the tech pack generation process is complete, asynchronous tech pack generation allows you to immediately return to the system and continue working while the system generates the tech pack in the background. You can use the asynchronous generation functionality when generating both single and multiple tech packs.
To asynchronously generate tech packs, select the Generate Tech Pack in Background checkbox in the Document Vault section. Selecting this checkbox automatically selects the Document Vault checkbox as well; you cannot clear this checkbox.
* 
Your administrator might have configured the system to automatically select the Generate Tech Pack in Background checkbox. If you do not want to generate the tech pack asynchronously, clear this checkbox.
While the system generates the tech pack, you can continue working, rather than waiting until the tech pack generation process is complete to use the system again.
