00:00:11:22 - 00:00:12:02
In this
00:00:12:02 - 00:00:16:00
tutorial, we're going to discover
how to create a MegaEdit type product
00:00:16:08 - 00:00:19:15
ready for the inputs of additional data.
00:00:20:21 - 00:00:24:02
So MegaEdit is our flagship
editor for document editing
00:00:24:14 - 00:00:28:09
as well as the creation of photo
gifting products such as photo books,
00:00:28:09 - 00:00:31:07
calendars, corporate gifts, etc.
00:00:32:19 - 00:00:36:16
This intuitive user interface
and editing options allow end users
00:00:36:16 - 00:00:42:16
to personalize documents
with a great amount of ease.
00:00:42:16 - 00:00:47:03
So the process of creating a MegaEdit product involves the initial creation
00:00:47:03 - 00:00:51:19
of a standard stock product and
then simply modifying the product type.
00:00:52:02 - 00:00:55:24
So if you've watched some of the earlier
tutorials to do with static PDF
00:00:55:24 - 00:01:00:25
type products and multipart product types,
the process
00:01:00:25 - 00:01:04:11
is very similar in that respect,
which is creating a stock product
00:01:04:21 - 00:01:08:25
and converting it into
a different product type.
00:01:10:19 - 00:01:12:15
There are now two methods of
00:01:12:15 - 00:01:15:22
creating a new MegaEdit product type.
00:01:17:14 - 00:01:20:25
I've already mentioned the fact
that we can convert a stock product
00:01:20:25 - 00:01:25:04
into a MegaEdit product,
which is applicable in some scenarios.
00:01:25:20 - 00:01:28:06
We now also have the capability
to directly
00:01:28:06 - 00:01:31:28
create a MegaEdit product.
00:01:32:03 - 00:01:35:18
So the new capability is just done
from the product management screen.
00:01:35:19 - 00:01:39:16
When you're creating a brand new product,
if I click on Add New,
00:01:39:24 - 00:01:42:08
it comes up with this create new product
window.
00:01:42:29 - 00:01:45:25
All I need to do from here
is to enter a product name
00:01:46:07 - 00:01:48:27
and then choose a MegaEdit product type
00:01:49:04 - 00:01:51:10
from the dropdown list
00:01:51:27 - 00:01:55:06
From here we do have the ability to upload
and invent package
00:01:55:06 - 00:01:58:06
if necessary, that will be covered
in future tutorials.
00:01:58:23 - 00:02:00:28
And then we can just click create.
00:02:04:16 - 00:02:05:12
The next part of this
00:02:05:12 - 00:02:08:06
tutorial
we'll focus on the other available method,
00:02:08:14 - 00:02:11:20
which is converting a stock product into a
00:02:12:03 - 00:02:14:29
MegaEdit product type.
00:02:15:25 - 00:02:18:17
So to begin with,
we'll create our standard stock product.
00:02:18:21 - 00:02:21:20
This is just done in the catalog
00:02:21:20 - 00:02:25:00
products and product management screens.
00:02:26:14 - 00:02:28:15
That gives you a list
of all of the products
00:02:28:15 - 00:02:30:27
that you have
on your currently selected storefront.
00:02:32:11 - 00:02:34:06
And then what we're going to do,
we could utilize
00:02:34:06 - 00:02:37:08
one of the products we already have,
of course, if you've already created one.
00:02:37:26 - 00:02:42:06
However, here
I'm just going to say add new.
00:02:44:09 - 00:02:46:13
Now all we actually need to add here
00:02:46:13 - 00:02:50:19
is at the very minimum a product name,
and that is about it.
00:02:51:06 - 00:02:54:05
However, you can put as many details
in here as you like.
00:02:54:18 - 00:02:57:21
The vast majority of the settings
that are going to be used in here
00:02:58:07 - 00:03:02:20
will still be used once you've converted
that product to a MegaEdit type product.
00:03:03:07 - 00:03:06:02
So for example, your descriptions,
00:03:06:02 - 00:03:08:23
any related products,
any pictures that you put on
00:03:09:02 - 00:03:12:17
will still be relevant
to your MegaEdit product,
00:03:13:05 - 00:03:17:27
especially when looking
at the landing page for that product.
00:03:18:17 - 00:03:21:17
In our case, I'm just going to keep it
nice and simple with a product name
00:03:33:09 - 00:03:36:06
and then click Save.
00:03:39:20 - 00:03:41:23
Now you can see that's now
created my product
00:03:42:18 - 00:03:45:21
and its current type is stock product.
00:03:50:27 - 00:03:53:06
So next we're going to convert our newly
created
00:03:53:06 - 00:03:56:12
stock product
into a MegaEdit type product.
00:03:57:10 - 00:03:59:11
So again, I'm going to go to the catalog.
00:04:00:23 - 00:04:02:23
This time
I'm going to go to product types,
00:04:04:15 - 00:04:06:09
a MegaEdit.
00:04:08:05 - 00:04:10:09
Now there's a lot of different options
00:04:10:09 - 00:04:13:19
for things to do with MegaEdit products
here, and we'll cover
00:04:14:10 - 00:04:17:02
all of these throughout the course
of this tutorial series.
00:04:17:12 - 00:04:20:09
However, for now,
we're going to focus just on our mega
00:04:20:09 - 00:04:28:02
edit products.
00:04:28:02 - 00:04:31:29
And then all we need to do from here
is to say add new on the top right
00:04:31:29 - 00:04:36:12
corner, select the product
we want to convert.
00:04:36:12 - 00:04:39:26
So all of your stock type
products will be displayed in this list,
00:04:40:08 - 00:04:43:01
ones that have already be converted
to a different product type
00:04:43:10 - 00:04:48:29
will not be displayed in here.
00:04:48:29 - 00:04:50:27
So you can find more relevant product.
00:04:50:27 - 00:04:53:16
You only need to worry about this second
00:04:53:16 - 00:04:56:24
setting here
if you're using the Invent plugin.
00:04:57:07 - 00:05:01:11
So this is if you are creating
your templates from Adobe, InDesign
00:05:02:12 - 00:05:03:11
and bringing
00:05:03:11 - 00:05:06:12
those templates into Infigo using the invent plugin
00:05:06:12 - 00:05:10:21
and those will be covered
in their own separate series.
00:05:11:23 - 00:05:14:25
So here we're not going to use it
in the file so I can leave that blank
00:05:15:08 - 00:05:18:10
and then I'm just going to say
create a new MegaEdit product
00:05:22:10 - 00:05:25:15
and that will take me to our edit MegaEdit product screen
00:05:25:26 - 00:05:28:28
with loads of different tabs
related to information
00:05:29:12 - 00:05:34:09
and resources associated
with that particular MegaEdit product.
00:05:34:24 - 00:05:39:11
And we'll cover
these in subsequent videos.
