Hi

We intend to deliver searching a spot per alternate values in the July release.

In the meantime, but only in Switch, you can run a Preflight Profile that includes the details of Color in an XML report that is sent along a "Data with Log" connection. That will namely report the alternate color values for the color space Separation.

You can then build a connection with a condition with variables in which you use the following expression:
[Metadata.Integer:Dataset="Log",Model="XML",Path="count(/EnfocusReport/ColorInfo/ColorSpace[@type='Separation']/FullTintAlternateValues[@C=0 and @M=0 and @Y=0 and @K=0])"]
This gives you the number of spot colors in the file with the alternate color values as defined in the expression. You can complete the condition with equal to 0, equal or greater than 1, or whatever suits you.
