00:00:13:24 - 00:00:14:28
In this tutorial, we're going
00:00:14:28 - 00:00:19:03
to investigate the product properties
of our MegaEdit products.
00:00:19:16 - 00:00:22:05
So these consist of general product
settings,
00:00:22:05 - 00:00:25:12
including things
such as available number of pages,
00:00:26:01 - 00:00:29:01
page pricing information, preview options
00:00:29:12 - 00:00:32:06
and various other associated settings.
00:00:33:20 - 00:00:37:04
The first thing we need to do is
to get access to our product properties.
00:00:38:00 - 00:00:40:08
So if we navigate
to our MegaEdit products,
00:00:40:28 - 00:00:43:16
same as previous tutorials,
this is within catalog
00:00:44:18 - 00:00:46:07
product types.
00:00:46:07 - 00:00:52:24
MegaEdit and then MegaEdit products.
00:00:52:24 - 00:00:56:12
Once we're on this screen, we just
highlights the appropriate products
00:00:56:23 - 00:01:01:26
and go to edit over
on the right hand side.
00:01:01:26 - 00:01:05:19
And then what we're going to focus on
within this tutorial is the Product
00:01:05:19 - 00:01:08:05
Properties tab.
00:01:08:05 - 00:01:11:06
So starting off with the minimum
and maximum number of pages,
00:01:11:06 - 00:01:14:24
this controls the page quantity limit
for these products.
00:01:15:08 - 00:01:17:09
So if the number of pages is not variable
00:01:17:09 - 00:01:20:24
to set both values
to the required page value.
00:01:21:04 - 00:01:22:19
So for example, by default,
00:01:22:19 - 00:01:26:14
this product has a minimum of two
and a maximum of two pages.
00:01:27:19 - 00:01:28:18
However, I could set
00:01:28:18 - 00:01:31:20
this to change, so maybe a minimum
of one maximum of three.
00:01:31:20 - 00:01:35:09
For example.
00:01:35:09 - 00:01:39:09
And that gives my user
the option to start off with one page,
00:01:39:09 - 00:01:43:24
but to add a couple of pages
at their own leisure.
00:01:46:18 - 00:01:49:04
Next,
we have this book layout option here.
00:01:49:10 - 00:01:53:23
So this specifies whether your product
is intended to be in a book format,
00:01:53:23 - 00:01:56:29
so it will generally control
how the layout will behave.
00:01:58:13 - 00:02:00:14
In our example,
we're not going to create a booklet,
00:02:00:14 - 00:02:04:04
so I'm going to just turn that off.
00:02:04:04 - 00:02:07:25
And then the last setting in this section
is outputs as spreads.
00:02:08:13 - 00:02:12:14
So this will determine
how your output pdf will be configured.
00:02:12:29 - 00:02:16:28
if you're creating a booklet,
you can choose one of the cover options
00:02:18:06 - 00:02:19:14
for our example will have
00:02:19:14 - 00:02:23:29
each page as a single page.
00:02:23:29 - 00:02:26:26
So the next section down
is price per page.
00:02:27:09 - 00:02:29:20
So this is primarily for booklet creation
00:02:30:06 - 00:02:34:25
with a dynamic number of pages, a price
can be set against each page that's added.
00:02:35:14 - 00:02:39:19
The user specifies a tier
and then a price per page.
00:02:39:29 - 00:02:42:21
So for example,
if I say insert price per page,
00:02:43:06 - 00:02:45:28
I get there's a little dropdown appearing
00:02:45:28 - 00:02:48:17
quantity less than so price
00:02:48:17 - 00:02:51:27
a quantity of pages less than that a price
00:02:51:27 - 00:02:54:11
per page.
00:02:55:28 - 00:02:59:10
Also within that section,
we have the ability to insert a discount.
00:02:59:26 - 00:03:03:02
So this is focused on booklet,
or photo book customers
00:03:03:09 - 00:03:05:14
and is not generally used elsewhere.
00:03:07:06 - 00:03:10:24
So here we could insert a discount
based on product quantity.
00:03:11:06 - 00:03:14:23
This would not display in the basket
as a separate discount.
00:03:16:10 - 00:03:19:01
So as I said, it's not generally
used is in most cases
00:03:19:01 - 00:03:22:25
administrators will want customers
to use coupon code to obtain discount.
00:03:23:07 - 00:03:27:05
So that usage can be tracked
rather than just being automatically
00:03:27:05 - 00:03:29:25
applied to a product.
00:03:34:23 - 00:03:37:25
Then we have a number of flags
that are available.
00:03:37:25 - 00:03:40:29
So product property flags
00:03:41:04 - 00:03:41:21
in here.
00:03:41:21 - 00:03:43:26
Be aware of MegaEdit pricing.
00:03:44:09 - 00:03:48:02
So during the setup of this product,
we have seen areas where price t
00:03:48:03 - 00:03:51:29
is a specified
and factor increases are specified.
00:03:52:25 - 00:03:55:14
They will be applied
as soon as those settings are saved.
00:03:56:03 - 00:03:58:21
Should you wish to revert a product
00:03:59:09 - 00:04:01:27
to using the standard Infigo
pricing structure.
00:04:01:28 - 00:04:05:02
So what's specified in the product
variant settings
00:04:05:29 - 00:04:07:17
then the option you should click is in.
00:04:07:17 - 00:04:11:14
This list of flags
ignore MegaEdit pricing for
00:04:11:15 - 00:04:13:00
this product.
00:04:13:21 - 00:04:15:17
The other options in this list
will not be covered
00:04:15:17 - 00:04:19:04
in this specific tutorial,
but will be covered in
00:04:20:18 - 00:04:29:06
other relevant tutorials in the future.
00:04:29:06 - 00:04:30:06
Go into the next section.
00:04:30:06 - 00:04:35:07
Down, we have the ability
to specify a preview type,
00:04:35:07 - 00:04:38:17
so this specifies whether a product
preview will be available.
00:04:38:17 - 00:04:41:18
So just the choice because we know preview
and standard preview
00:04:46:12 - 00:04:48:09
coming down a couple of steps,
we have the ability
00:04:48:09 - 00:04:51:16
to select a batch source.
00:04:51:16 - 00:04:55:08
So this allows the customer
to upload a variable data file
00:04:55:16 - 00:04:57:16
such as from a CSV.
00:04:58:09 - 00:04:59:03
So this is useful
00:04:59:03 - 00:05:03:14
if there are multiple data records
to be utilized in your dynamic product,
00:05:03:14 - 00:05:07:11
such as if you're creating a business card
for multiple people within a business,
00:05:09:00 - 00:05:13:09
this option selects the type of upload
the dynamic product will accept.
00:05:13:09 - 00:05:16:12
In our example,
will choose the CSV plugin.
00:05:17:01 - 00:05:21:06
So this is where users
can upload their own CSV documents.
00:05:22:11 - 00:05:25:01
Now we won't cover these last two options
in too much detail,
00:05:25:01 - 00:05:28:11
but just to make you aware of what
they are, we have the page splits option.
00:05:28:26 - 00:05:31:03
So this is if you want to allow your
00:05:32:28 - 00:05:34:29
your output PDFs
00:05:34:29 - 00:05:39:11
to be a one single product
to be created as multiple output PDFs.
00:05:40:12 - 00:05:43:20
So for example,
if you were creating a book or something
00:05:43:20 - 00:05:47:20
like that, then you might have
two separate PDFs, one for the cover
00:05:48:01 - 00:05:50:28
and one for the internal spreads.
00:05:52:10 - 00:05:55:09
And then you have an output mega script.
00:05:55:09 - 00:05:58:15
So this is if you need to perform
some operations
00:05:58:25 - 00:06:01:26
on your product
before it's sent off to the printer.
00:06:02:07 - 00:06:04:17
So let's say, for example,
it needs to be rotated
00:06:05:04 - 00:06:10:09
before it can be loaded into the printer.
00:06:10:09 - 00:06:11:17
Make sure you click on Save
00:06:11:17 - 00:06:16:10
at the top of the screen
or save and continue edit to retain those
00:06:16:10 - 00:06:22:05
settings that you've changed.
