so what I'm going to do is we're going
through this as I say it's an
educational tool more than anything else
so as we specify options in the Tool uh
I'll keep referencing back to the
complete XML that it creates just so we
can kind of see what impact that has
had so first and foremost when we're
creating this XML is to do with the
creation and specification of these
parts so I'm going to go ahead and just
create a part to begin with as you see
that gives us a load more options which
is showing you the kind of information
and specification that you can include
in those
parts so the first thing we want to do
is a name so let's continue with our
brochure example we'll go for a front
cover we next down we have a
type so I'll get on to the other option
in here later but what this essentially
allows us to do
is either use an uploadable part so what
we've seen so far where a user can
upload a PDF but you've also got the
ability to reference a static product
that you've got Elsewhere on your infigo
platform so let's say for example you've
you've you're trying to create a new
output product but where the first page
is always static so regardless of what
the user uploads there's always a first
page which is always there and it's
completely static you can have it so
that one of these parts in the MultiPart
just pulls from one of your other static
PDF products within
infigo so very useful uh and we've got
that in some of the examples that we'll
um that we'll demonstrate but we'll get
on to that static one later on first of
all I want to specify this upload
area so let's look at some of the
options that we can put in there we can
put the page number range so how many
pages do we want the we want to allow
that customer to upload so for our front
cover for example it might just be one
page or nothing we've got no sort of
variation in
that these check and fix profiles are to
do with the pit stop profiles I'll come
back to those in a second I promise
and then further down we have the UI
name and UI description these are just
descriptions that will appear as part of
that box for that particular
section zoom in slightly Cas need to see
that and then finally on here we have
the specification of how many many
upload areas the user can
utilize so what I mean by this and I can
show it on one of my examples
again so we've got our internal content
here for example on on our
brocher now in most cases it might be
that that internal content that people
upload is all in one PDF fantastic
that's great but what if they've got
multiple PDFs what if there's three
different PDFs that contain the internal
content that option I was just pointing
out allows you to put multiple different
upload sections within the same parts so
you don't have to specify loads of
different parts so for example
if some people uploaded the internals as
one PDF some people uploaded it as six
PDFs we want to give them that option
and this is the option we have here so
you see at the moment I've got one
internal content upload I can very
easily a second into the same
part so now both of those will be
combined into the same
PDF and that is this section here so
this upload count type so we we can
either specify it as a range so for
example for our front cover that we're
specifying now the range of minimum is
going to be one and maximum is going to
be one because we only want one page
it's only going to be one upload we can
change the ranges or if we want to give
pre people free specification of how
many upload areas to have in that
particular part we can change that to at
least one
how that actually affects our
resulting XML so you can see how a lot
of that information has being fed in and
again this is just to help your
understanding of how this is actually
constructed so we look inside the part
section there we've got some initial
configuration for that particular part
so it's user upload we've given it a
name we've given it a minimum and
maximum page numbers and we've got
profile but at the at present they are
empty we' then got the input items which
is including things like how many upload
areas we have and the names that we've
specified and then we have the order
which in this case has only got one item
in it so hopefully you can see how
that's being
created let's copy that and take that
over to our product
and have a look at the end
result so I'm just going to paste our
updated XML config into
here and then I'll just refresh my
product and restart
so you can see there we've now got our
front cover and one upload area that we
can
utilize now before I forget you'll see
here that I've got a PDF file upload
size limit now I think by default that's
quite low it's something like 5
megabytes uh so you might need to change
this for some of the products that you
create
this is done if I remember correctly as
part of the infigo settings that we saw
earlier
on so if I searching there for maybe
MultiPart
again you can see there we've got an
option for MultiPart upload Max file size
in bytes so you can change that to
whatever value you want it will be
storefront wide it is a storefront wide
value for
here okay so hopefully that makes sense
I'll now talk about our Pit Stop
profiles a little bit so um very good
question earlier on Daryl so we've got a
couple of different areas that you can
specify these Pit Stop profiles so for
anyone that doesn't know what the pit
stop profiles are it's a way of
pre-flighting any artwork that's given
to you so it's not something that's
created by Inigo uh we just integrate
with and focus pit stop so you can get
um an integration which allows you to
use their Pit Stop profiles in your
infigo storefront on your products and
what it means is that
the user uploads files to the infigo
storefront those files are run through a
check and this check can be a multitude
of different things how many pages it is
what size it is what color formatting it
is and much much more and it allows you
to make sure that what they're uploading
is actually in the correct
format now you can do them as a check
profile so this is as the name suggests
it's just where
a check and a report is being
created we won't actually do any
physical changes to the file that they
upload but it will give them information
on if they need to change
anything you've then got the ability to
import a fix profile so again as the
name suggests that if you if you want to
do some automatic fixes on files that
are uploaded if it's
required and then you've got output
profiles as well and as I mentioned
earlier on that's where you can actually
specify something that runs on the
output file that's being
created now in terms of a MultiPart
product there is the two areas where
they can be specified so you if you want
to use an output PDF profile which as I
mentioned operates after the output has
been created that is specified on
here and I'll show you where to create
that in a
moment if you want to do a check or a
fix profile or both those are specified
within the XML itself so either within
the tool if you want to utilize it this
way uh so as part of your part
specification you've got check and fix
profiles or you can put it directly into
the XML under these sections here so
they will be there by default they're
just left empty but all you need to do
is put the name of your
profile within here and then it will
utilize that in terms of where you
actually upload your pit stop profiles
into infigo it's really really
easy if you just go to your search bar
and your in Figo area admin area
search PDF profile setup I think is the
page you
want and then all you're doing is
uploading the profiles into here um now
as I mentioned the profiles themselves
are created externally to infigo it's
not our software that creates those but
once you've got that PPP file which is
the pit stop profile you can just import
it into
here now we won't go into too much
detail on the creation of these as it's
sort of veering away from the topic a
little bit um but there is additional
resources on the academy as to how you
can upload your profiles and apply them
to different product types because you
can get the to run on Mega edit products
as
well uh but just for our example cases
to show you how these actually
work what I've got in here is a cmk
check and a cmk fix so these are just
really simple profiles one of them is
checking that the color um format is in
cmk and one of them is fixing it so if
it's not in cmk then it will change it
to be so and what I'm going to do as our
example is just get these to run on our
particular um upload
system so I can do this as part of our
tool here so I'm just going to exactly
put those names of the profiles in so
cmk
check and
cmk fix
so you can see those have now been
populated and I'll save that now
something to know which is in the other
documentation if you look at it um if
you're using both a check and a fix
profile then this is the way you should
do it so your check one goes under the
check heading of course and then the fix
one goes under the fix heading you have
got the option to just use one or the
other of those as well um so you can
just run a fix if you want and not a
check if you do
that maybe someone a bit confusingly um
it doesn't go within the fix profile
think of these more as a step
one and a step two so if you're only
running the fix profile you'd put the
name of the fix profile in here because
that you don't want to utilize the check
I hope that makes sense
