Otherwise known as ‘Web To Print’ these are pre-defined artwork templates that allow the user to generate final press-ready artwork by supplying only simple content.

 


All items held within the Catalog can be organised into folders and sub-folders and controls are available to apply privileged-access conditions to individual items.

...

To create a new folder:

1.  Go to either the Project † New RFx Jobbags --> † New RFx ( For Rate Card and Rfx items) view or the Inventory † Catalog †--> Catalog ( for stock items) view.
2.  Click the New Folder button at the top of the page.
3.  Select a Location for the folder by clicking the Change button and selecting an appropriate folder and then    clicking the Set button.

The system provides a range of standard specification forms (known as Job Types) but allows you to arrange these forms into a catalog ofAdhoc of Adhoc Items.

This allows the Catalog Manager to restrict access to unwanted specifications forms or to create additional ‘instances’ of specification forms (e.g. the ‘Single Sheet’ specification form may be presented in the Catalog as a ‘Poster’ Adhoc item as well as a ‘Flyer’ Adhoc item – both use the same specification form but may be easier for users to identify).

...

Repeat Items

Repeat Item is, at its simplest, a completed specification form with cost and sale pricing tables and are ideal for those ‘commodity’ specifications, i.e. specification that are frequently ordered and with little variation.

...

Each Customer may have different prices for the same item (including the specification options) and simple tools exist for the Catalog Manager to quickly set a Customer’s prices given a chosen set of supplier prices plus the customer’s standard markup.
