"Social" applications differ from "commercial" in various categories which separate into social and commercial functionality. One form of treatment is, for the most part, not really a requirement for the other and are (therefore) maintained separately. Examples of social functionality that are not made available in typical commercial work is "areafill" and "corner copy" logic. Conversely, commercial logic such as area cloning in not typically needed for social. But because the two applications present special challenges to the composition program Hence EDP determined that "flagging" jobs as either social or commercial makes sense.  Within commercial we further divide the application to address special requirements for labels, business cards and financial printing.

Normally ACT2² will recognize the special logic by querying the Item Type declared in the Item record. If the item type is set to social, then ACT2² will allow access to the program routines that support that functionality.
