Infigo Sync is a

00:00:08:19 - 00:00:12:07
Windows based service
which polls your Infigo platform

00:00:12:13 - 00:00:15:19
and downloads
any print ready jobs to hot folders.

00:00:16:07 - 00:00:18:21
It's a two way service
that identifies files

00:00:18:21 - 00:00:22:15
that have successfully reached
their destination on your internal network

00:00:22:28 - 00:00:27:07
and automatically updates the status
of the order in shared print operations.

00:00:28:13 - 00:00:30:29
Infigo sync can also upload files

00:00:31:01 - 00:00:34:28
to within the Infigo system itself.

00:00:34:28 - 00:00:38:04
So the first thing we need to do
is to actually download Infigo Sync.

00:00:38:15 - 00:00:41:12
The easiest way to do
this is go to the relevant help center

00:00:41:12 - 00:00:44:01
topics
of setting up and installing Infigo Sync.

00:00:44:14 - 00:00:49:18
And then from there, we have the ability
to download Infigo Sync.

00:00:53:02 - 00:00:54:00
Now, depending on when you're

00:00:54:00 - 00:00:58:08
watching this tutorial, it may say Catfish
Sync as a download file.

00:00:58:19 - 00:00:59:22
That's absolutely fine.

00:00:59:22 - 00:01:01:19
That's just the old name for Infigo.

00:01:01:19 - 00:01:03:25
Prior to the revamp.

00:01:03:25 - 00:01:05:19
Prior to the rebrand.

00:01:05:19 - 00:01:08:29
So I'm just going to click on download

00:01:10:10 - 00:01:12:27
So we'll go through here, we'll
accept the terms and conditions,

00:01:13:08 - 00:01:17:02
and then the first time we need to
actually input something is this page here

00:01:17:15 - 00:01:21:10
where it's asking for an API
token and a website.

00:01:21:10 - 00:01:22:08
URL

00:01:22:21 - 00:01:25:01
So in order to obtain an API token.

00:01:25:01 - 00:01:29:16
Simply contact our customer support team
and they will produce one for you.

00:01:30:11 - 00:01:32:25
When you are requesting a token,
please confirm

00:01:32:25 - 00:01:36:25
whether you would like it to be created
on the platform level or confirm

00:01:36:25 - 00:01:41:10
which storefront specifically
you'd like it to be created on.

00:01:42:13 - 00:01:44:11
I'm just
going to paste that token into there,

00:01:44:11 - 00:01:46:17
which has been generated for us.

00:01:46:29 - 00:01:49:08
And next are looking at the website URL.

00:01:50:15 - 00:01:51:23
You click on the little hint icon.

00:01:51:23 - 00:01:54:27
It's telling you the actual format
it requires for that website URL

00:01:56:01 - 00:01:57:27
and do make sure that you utilize

00:01:57:27 - 00:02:00:17
HTTP only, not https.

00:02:00:18 - 00:02:01:26
In this case.

00:02:03:10 - 00:02:05:17
Now we do have an advanced mode
on here as well,

00:02:05:17 - 00:02:08:20
which does allow you to install
some additional functionality

00:02:09:02 - 00:02:11:28
that won't be covered
in this specific tutorial, but allows you

00:02:11:28 - 00:02:17:02
to do things
such as Local Sync, Batch CSV upload

00:02:17:10 - 00:02:20:05
and general upload functionality.

00:02:28:04 - 00:02:31:22
Next, we need to complete the Infigo
Sync Configuration settings.

00:02:32:00 - 00:02:34:26
First,
I will need to select the print location.

00:02:35:14 - 00:02:41:14
So this will draw in a list from the sites
that you specified in the previous step.

00:02:41:28 - 00:02:43:28
This will be a list of print locations.

00:02:44:08 - 00:02:46:28
Again,
print locations are not something that's

00:02:46:28 - 00:02:50:10
covered in this tutorial,
but there are a bit.

00:02:50:10 - 00:02:56:08
There is a separate tutorial available
on hot folders and print locations.

00:02:57:08 - 00:02:58:16
You don't need to specify

00:02:58:16 - 00:03:01:04
the download location.

00:03:02:04 - 00:03:02:23
So from here

00:03:02:23 - 00:03:07:08
we can use the browse button
to select a location on your local machine

00:03:07:19 - 00:03:13:02
to determine
where all of the PDF files will be placed.

00:03:13:23 - 00:03:16:26
And then we also have
the sync interval in seconds.

00:03:16:26 - 00:03:20:01
So this setting determines
how often the sync will actually run.

00:03:20:16 - 00:03:25:13
The recommended AMP default is 30 seconds,
which means that every 30 seconds

00:03:25:22 - 00:03:27:26
in figure sync will run its tasks.

00:03:29:02 - 00:03:31:01
In this case,
it will check the hot folders

00:03:31:01 - 00:03:34:11
for output PDF files

00:03:36:01 - 00:03:36:19
that we just need

00:03:36:19 - 00:03:46:10
to select the install location.

00:03:48:00 - 00:03:50:05
Once that's fully installed, click finish.

00:03:50:05 - 00:03:52:21
And next,
we need to navigate to the services

00:03:52:28 - 00:03:55:02
area on our computer.

00:03:55:22 - 00:03:57:05
Now I'm doing this on a PC.

00:03:57:05 - 00:04:00:24
It may be slightly different
on a mac, for example,

00:04:01:27 - 00:04:04:22
but I'm just going to navigate to

00:04:05:06 - 00:04:11:22
services.

00:04:11:22 - 00:04:14:27
And then within that services list,
I be able to find an entry

00:04:14:27 - 00:04:19:07
called Catfish Sync,
which by default is not running.

00:04:19:08 - 00:04:23:21
So if you select the Catfish Sync
entry may be Infigo Sync.

00:04:23:21 - 00:04:27:00
If you can't find Catfish Sync
depending on if we've updated the installer

00:04:27:00 - 00:04:30:13
by that point
and then click on Start the service

00:04:35:08 - 00:04:35:22
and that's it.

00:04:35:22 - 00:04:39:23
The service is now running
and we can go ahead and configure

00:04:39:29 - 00:04:43:18
our hot folders or print locations
and anything else that we want to use

00:04:43:27 - 00:04:48:25
Infigo Sync for.
