00:00:08:21 - 00:00:11:28
So the
next section I want to talk about is,
00:00:11:28 - 00:00:15:24
managing jobs using shared
print operations and hot folders.
00:00:16:17 - 00:00:19:02
So I know many of you that are on
this call
00:00:19:02 - 00:00:23:08
might have a integration with and MIS.
00:00:23:29 - 00:00:26:00
That's obviously a little bit different
than what we have here.
00:00:26:00 - 00:00:29:10
And I will sort of very briefly
go over those in a in a moment.
00:00:30:01 - 00:00:34:02
But within the Infigo platform itself,
as I've kind of briefly showed earlier
00:00:34:02 - 00:00:37:02
on, we do have an area called shared
print operations.
00:00:37:10 - 00:00:40:16
So this is very useful
if you are part of a company that doesn't
00:00:40:16 - 00:00:45:06
use a separate, MIS
or doesn't integrate Infigo with that MIS
00:00:45:13 - 00:00:48:22
just for tracking your orders,
getting hold of your artwork,
00:00:49:07 - 00:00:52:21
updating statuses, putting notes
on orders, that kind of things.
00:00:53:00 - 00:00:55:08
Shared
print operations is fantastic for that,
00:00:56:26 - 00:01:00:21
so it's fairly straightforward to use
once you get your head around it.
00:01:01:00 - 00:01:04:00
If I go to shared print operations
00:01:04:03 - 00:01:06:27
by default, that will show you orders
00:01:06:27 - 00:01:11:16
from all of the storefronts
on your platform, because it's kind of
00:01:11:16 - 00:01:14:16
just like a central hub
for all your print jobs.
00:01:14:17 - 00:01:18:06
Every row that you see in there,
if I find one that actually has a row.
00:01:21:11 - 00:01:24:15
I just go to an individual storefront
so we're not seeing loads of extra stuff.
00:01:24:27 - 00:01:27:23
Every single row is a job
00:01:27:23 - 00:01:31:26
because you might have multiple jobs
within a single order.
00:01:32:07 - 00:01:35:07
So a job might be you want
00:01:35:14 - 00:01:39:01
3000 of this particular document,
but on the same order, you might have
00:01:39:01 - 00:01:42:01
another 2000 of a different documents
or something like that.
00:01:42:03 - 00:01:44:24
So each row in here is a job.
00:01:44:24 - 00:01:49:05
Each one of those you can expand,
and then you've got a full range
00:01:49:05 - 00:01:53:00
of potential information that a print
operator, for example, is going to need.
00:01:53:16 - 00:01:56:15
Shipping address, billing address,
whether they need to contact
00:01:56:15 - 00:01:59:17
a customer
if there's an associated product with it.
00:02:00:00 - 00:02:03:08
So this particular product that I'm using
I think is a stock product.
00:02:03:08 - 00:02:05:18
So it's not particularly useful
in that respect.
00:02:05:18 - 00:02:10:06
However, if you're doing a static PDF
or a multipart product where you have
00:02:10:13 - 00:02:11:18
where the customers uploaded
00:02:11:18 - 00:02:14:23
that PDF, you'd be able to download
the artwork from in here,
00:02:16:15 - 00:02:17:17
you can also do things such
00:02:17:17 - 00:02:20:17
as downloading associated job tickets,
00:02:21:15 - 00:02:24:15
invoices, associated documentation,
00:02:24:25 - 00:02:28:23
shipping and tracking information,
and of course, status changes
00:02:28:23 - 00:02:31:23
so you can keep track of what's happening
with that particular order.
00:02:39:12 - 00:02:41:04
Now, for those that don't
have the integration
00:02:41:04 - 00:02:46:11
with an MIS this pairs very nicely
with, hot folders.
00:02:47:00 - 00:02:49:29
So this is excuse me.
00:02:49:29 - 00:02:53:22
So this is the ability for us
to actually automatically push artwork
00:02:54:03 - 00:02:57:03
to particular folders.
00:02:57:06 - 00:03:00:07
The easiest way to think about this is hot
00:03:00:07 - 00:03:03:07
folders are actually created
within your comfy go platform.
00:03:03:13 - 00:03:06:01
So when you're pushing a job to a hot
folder,
00:03:06:01 - 00:03:09:01
it is pushing it to a folder
within your Infigo platform.
00:03:09:18 - 00:03:13:21
But what you would have is,
an additional installation tool
00:03:13:25 - 00:03:15:29
which is called Infigo sync.
00:03:15:29 - 00:03:18:11
You can put that on a remote machine,
00:03:18:11 - 00:03:21:15
and then you can
very easily connect and sync
00:03:24:04 - 00:03:24:16
to poll to keep
00:03:24:16 - 00:03:27:17
looking into one of those hot folders
on your Infigo system.
00:03:27:27 - 00:03:28:20
And when it sees
00:03:28:20 - 00:03:31:20
that there's been a change in files,
when it sees that there's been an update,
00:03:31:21 - 00:03:36:12
it will get that information,
copy it on onto the local file of that,
00:03:36:14 - 00:03:40:11
local folder of that machine
that Infigo sync is installed on.
00:03:41:11 - 00:03:46:13
So again, once you get your head around
these, it's fairly simple to set them up.
00:03:46:21 - 00:03:49:19
It's just a case of creating the relevant
hot folders
00:03:49:19 - 00:03:52:08
and then choosing
how you want to map them.
00:03:52:08 - 00:03:56:07
So you can just have everything
go into one hot folder if you want to,
00:03:56:15 - 00:03:57:10
but you might have it
00:03:57:10 - 00:03:59:24
so that certain products
go to certain hot folders
00:03:59:24 - 00:04:01:22
because they need to be printed
on certain machines.
00:04:01:22 - 00:04:02:26
For example.
00:04:02:26 - 00:04:06:01
So you might need to direct them
in in certain places.
00:04:06:01 - 00:04:09:15
They can it can get a bit complicated
depending on your setup.
00:04:11:18 - 00:04:12:07
So if I go
00:04:12:07 - 00:04:15:07
to hot folders and print locations
00:04:16:13 - 00:04:19:13
now, a print location is just
00:04:19:19 - 00:04:22:03
as the name suggests, it's a location
which you're doing the print.
00:04:22:03 - 00:04:25:14
So it might be sort of facility,
one facility to whatever it might be.
00:04:26:05 - 00:04:30:10
And then within those you can have
multiple different hot folders.
00:04:31:16 - 00:04:33:02
Creating them is very, very easy.
00:04:33:02 - 00:04:34:21
You just giving them a name.
00:04:34:21 - 00:04:37:21
And then you're saying
whether they're active
00:04:37:21 - 00:04:40:21
and if you need to, whether
they're visible to the API as well.
00:04:41:04 - 00:04:44:27
The most important thing to do here
is to actually specify
00:04:44:27 - 00:04:47:21
what the mapping for
that hot folder is going to be.
00:04:47:21 - 00:04:51:05
So which products of my orders
00:04:51:05 - 00:04:54:05
are going to go to that particular
hot folder.
00:04:54:07 - 00:04:56:15
So if I go to one of
these and say edit mapping,
00:04:57:24 - 00:05:00:24
you can specify there.
00:05:01:14 - 00:05:04:00
Are loads of different potential options,
00:05:04:00 - 00:05:08:03
a load of ways in which files can get
pushed to that particular hot folder.
00:05:08:16 - 00:05:11:28
So it could be specific products,
it could be whole categories.
00:05:11:28 - 00:05:14:28
It could be if,
00:05:15:00 - 00:05:18:00
a certain
the orders from a certain country,
00:05:18:10 - 00:05:21:06
if a certain product tag
is used, for example,
00:05:21:06 - 00:05:24:06
there's loads of different ways
in which you can categorize that.
00:05:24:07 - 00:05:27:07
Or of course, you can just leave it
so that they're not
00:05:27:10 - 00:05:29:18
it doesn't utilize any specific
mapping at all.
00:05:29:18 - 00:05:32:18
And everything gets pushed
to one particular hot folder.
00:05:33:17 - 00:05:36:17
You can utilize multiple
hot folders for the same product.
00:05:37:15 - 00:05:42:12
And it kind of works
on a best matching scenario.
00:05:42:20 - 00:05:45:20
So if something,
00:05:46:03 - 00:05:48:24
is present in the mapping
of a couple of hot folders,
00:05:48:24 - 00:05:51:24
it will go towards what it considers to be
the best match,
00:05:52:06 - 00:05:54:04
is to which hot
folder it eventually goes to.
00:06:03:19 - 00:06:04:09
Okay.
00:06:04:09 - 00:06:07:27
And what you should
see on these shared prints operations,
00:06:07:27 - 00:06:10:27
I don't think it will be working
on this particular example,
00:06:11:03 - 00:06:15:03
but you will get an update when something
has gone to a particular hot folder.
00:06:15:03 - 00:06:17:00
So you can
00:06:17:00 - 00:06:19:08
make sure that it's doing the right thing.
00:06:19:08 - 00:06:20:10
So I won't do it on this one.
00:06:20:10 - 00:06:20:24
I don't think
00:06:20:24 - 00:06:24:13
because I've got other configurations
specified, for example purposes,
00:06:24:28 - 00:06:27:28
but as part of the status history,
you will see that it's
00:06:28:05 - 00:06:31:07
been sent to a hot folder
or verified within the hot folder.
00:06:31:21 - 00:06:33:13
And then there'll be
another section here as well,
00:06:33:13 - 00:06:35:29
which is saying what hot
folder has been pushed to.
00:06:35:29 - 00:06:38:29
So you can utilize that.
00:06:39:05 - 00:06:42:05
If you're not integrating with an MIS.
00:06:45:27 - 00:06:46:27
Another way to manage
00:06:46:27 - 00:06:51:19
your orders is with the sales section,
which is a bit less talked about.
00:06:52:07 - 00:06:53:22
So this will
00:06:54:28 - 00:06:56:16
probably not
00:06:56:16 - 00:07:00:10
what you would use versus sort of the,
the general print operator or anything.
00:07:00:10 - 00:07:02:23
It will have financial information
in here.
00:07:02:23 - 00:07:05:27
You'll have the ability to provide refunds
if you if you're doing so.
00:07:06:15 - 00:07:08:15
But it does give you a lot of the,
00:07:08:15 - 00:07:11:16
a lot of the same information
that shared print operations does.
00:07:12:16 - 00:07:14:28
So you'll see here that I've got details
on all of the orders.
00:07:14:28 - 00:07:17:15
They've been placed
into this particular storefront.
00:07:17:15 - 00:07:20:15
And then you can go into more details
on any of those orders.
00:07:24:01 - 00:07:26:07
Download associated documentation
00:07:26:07 - 00:07:28:29
or change the status of that
job if you need to, as well.
