00:00:05:15 - 00:00:08:02
MegaEdit already has an activatable script

00:00:08:02 - 00:00:11:25
which enables layer functionality
within your product templates.

00:00:11:27 - 00:00:15:25
This capability comes built into the form
builders capabilities,

00:00:15:28 - 00:00:20:23
allowing you as the admin to assign fields
to numerous backgrounds and mask layers.

00:00:20:25 - 00:00:22:24
This is a wide range of purposes.

00:00:22:24 - 00:00:27:00
However, primarily allows the admin
to create precision controls over

00:00:27:00 - 00:00:32:27
how existing and user created fields
operate in relation to each other.

00:00:33:00 - 00:00:34:26
So what we're going to do
is start by adding

00:00:34:26 - 00:00:38:27
and configuring a field in the usual Form
Builder fashion.

00:00:38:27 - 00:00:42:03
So I'm just going to go ahead
and add an image field

00:00:42:06 - 00:00:46:21
and then just go to the custom tab
where I'm going to assign a name

00:00:46:23 - 00:00:47:20
and assign a type.

00:00:47:20 - 00:00:53:07
So that appears on the
actual form. So there we go.

00:00:53:09 - 00:00:56:09
If that
field is to be part of a defined layer,

00:00:56:09 - 00:01:01:09
we need to assign it with the field tags
area down at the bottom of the screen.

00:01:01:12 - 00:01:04:02
Now, if I click on this,
you'll see that by default

00:01:04:02 - 00:01:09:22
the form builder provides five background
layers and five mask layers.

00:01:09:24 - 00:01:12:15
Although these numbers can be increased
in the Form Builder

00:01:12:15 - 00:01:16:14
script config,

00:01:16:16 - 00:01:17:29
selecting a layer

00:01:17:29 - 00:01:21:15
and clicking on the plus icon with assign

00:01:21:15 - 00:01:28:12
that field to a particular layer.

00:01:28:15 - 00:01:29:02
please note

00:01:29:02 - 00:01:30:05
that you should only assign

00:01:30:05 - 00:01:34:10
multiple fields to a single layer
if they are not going to interact,

00:01:34:13 - 00:01:38:05
such as if the Z axis arrangement
of multiple fields within a single

00:01:38:05 - 00:01:39:22
layer is not an issue.

00:01:39:22 - 00:01:43:09
So, for example, you want to make sure
that fields within the same layer

00:01:43:13 - 00:01:48:27
are not overlapping one another.

00:01:48:29 - 00:01:49:23
Now let's take a look at

00:01:49:23 - 00:01:52:23
understanding the different layers
that we have available.

00:01:52:23 - 00:01:56:21
So I've got an example
on my other page of the product here.

00:01:56:23 - 00:01:57:03
So you see

00:01:57:03 - 00:02:01:09
I've got a few different text boxes
which have assigned background codes too.

00:02:01:10 - 00:02:03:18
So we can actually

00:02:03:18 - 00:02:06:18
clearly see where they are
in the arrangement.

00:02:06:22 - 00:02:12:08
I've got a few on different background
layers and a few on different mask layers

00:02:12:10 - 00:02:16:07
As we can see here, the lower
the number associated with the layer.

00:02:16:10 - 00:02:20:17
So for example, background,
one of background to the further back

00:02:20:18 - 00:02:26:05
that layer sits background layers
will always sit at the back of the canvas.

00:02:26:08 - 00:02:33:05
Masks will always sit
at the front of the canvas.

00:02:33:08 - 00:02:33:25
Any field

00:02:33:25 - 00:02:37:29
that's not assigned to a layer
such as those that are added by a user

00:02:38:02 - 00:02:42:00
will sit between the masks
and the background layers.

00:02:42:02 - 00:02:47:03
If I go ahead and add
an image field in here, for example,

00:02:47:05 - 00:02:47:16
what we'll

00:02:47:16 - 00:02:50:19
see is that it sits in between
those two sets of layers.

00:02:50:19 - 00:02:56:23
So behind the masks
and in front of the backgrounds.

00:02:56:26 - 00:02:57:20
So note that

00:02:57:20 - 00:03:01:17
even if you give the customer the ability
to alter the z-axis arrangement

00:03:01:22 - 00:03:05:12
of a non layer field,
they will not be able to set the field

00:03:05:12 - 00:03:10:17
to appear behind background layers
or in front of mask layers.

00:03:10:20 - 00:03:14:28
The backgrounds and mask layer fields
can still be interacted with by the user.

00:03:14:28 - 00:03:16:10
Should you wish to allow it.

00:03:16:10 - 00:03:21:28
However, will always sit
where you intend them to sit.

00:03:22:00 - 00:03:24:12
So there's a wide range of possible
applications for this.

00:03:24:12 - 00:03:27:20
Just to go through a couple
of potential examples.

00:03:27:22 - 00:03:31:24
You could use this to apply a texture
image as a background layer.

00:03:31:26 - 00:03:36:10
You could use it to apply print marks
or guidance, which are always on the top

00:03:36:10 - 00:03:39:23
layer but are not in the final print
preview or print.

00:03:39:26 - 00:03:44:14
And you can use it to easily maintain
a mandatory z-axis layout of the fields.

00:03:44:14 - 00:03:47:12
So for example, if you don't want
the customer to be able to change it.
