00:00:06:17 - 00:00:08:29
In this brief
tutorial, we're going to try and discuss
00:00:08:29 - 00:00:13:00
how the hot folder mapping works
with a little bit more practical detail.
00:00:13:15 - 00:00:15:29
And we're also going to take a quick
look at how the
00:00:16:06 - 00:00:17:07
allocation
00:00:17:07 - 00:00:19:18
of products to different hot
folders might work as well.
00:00:20:24 - 00:00:23:00
So this is following on
from a previous tutorial
00:00:23:00 - 00:00:28:00
where we went into the Infigo
settings in greater detail and had a look
00:00:28:00 - 00:00:32:15
at the hot folders and print locations
and where to create our hot folders.
00:00:34:12 - 00:00:36:05
Now, something else that we covered in
that same
00:00:36:05 - 00:00:39:10
tutorial
was the mapping of those hot folders.
00:00:40:05 - 00:00:44:12
So this page here,
which gives you a set of optional mappings
00:00:44:12 - 00:00:47:01
where you can select one
or multiple different
00:00:48:02 - 00:00:52:18
mapping elements
which will direct certain things
00:00:52:18 - 00:00:56:01
towards that hot folder.
00:00:56:21 - 00:01:05:22
But we also showed within the iInfigo
settings, there's a few settings here
00:01:05:22 - 00:01:10:27
which allow you to auto copy to hot folder
and you can choose the type of products
00:01:10:27 - 00:01:15:25
that are automatically copied
when an output is detected.
00:01:17:16 - 00:01:18:14
So what we're going to do in
00:01:18:14 - 00:01:22:26
this little presentation here is just try
and give three practical examples.
00:01:23:11 - 00:01:25:25
And with the help of a flowchart
00:01:25:25 - 00:01:28:28
So what we have here is three products
that will go through.
00:01:29:06 - 00:01:31:20
And those products
need to be assigned to a hot folder.
00:01:32:16 - 00:01:35:14
Now, what we're going to look at
is that product's journey
00:01:35:27 - 00:01:39:11
through this particular system,
and we'll see how they get allocated
00:01:39:11 - 00:01:41:26
into the hot folders.
00:01:43:06 - 00:01:46:06
So just for completeness,
we have six different folders
00:01:46:15 - 00:01:49:03
allocated between two locations
00:01:49:16 - 00:01:52:23
and we have a few
00:01:52:23 - 00:01:54:25
product types which are set to copy.
00:01:54:26 - 00:02:00:13
So only print on demand and variable type
products are set to copy into the folder.
00:02:00:21 - 00:02:03:10
All of those assets are not copied
into the hot folder.
00:02:03:10 - 00:02:05:26
Automatically.
00:02:06:15 - 00:02:10:05
So starting off with product one,
00:02:10:05 - 00:02:13:11
this is a print on demand
or a static PDF product.
00:02:13:25 - 00:02:15:18
And there's a product tag
00:02:16:18 - 00:02:18:10
which is tag number one,
00:02:18:10 - 00:02:22:14
and that's assigned to a category
which is category number one.
00:02:27:00 - 00:02:30:07
Now, the first step here is to see
if that product type is actually copied.
00:02:30:07 - 00:02:33:16
So it's a print on demand product
that is set to copy.
00:02:34:15 - 00:02:37:07
So we pass that gate.
00:02:38:02 - 00:02:42:26
Next, we need to establish how many
mapping parameters that particular product
00:02:43:10 - 00:02:46:22
or the output from that product
has with the different hot folders.
00:02:47:15 - 00:02:51:09
So we'll take a little look at all
of the different folders, and it will see
00:02:51:09 - 00:02:56:04
how many mapping parameters
it has in common.
00:02:57:18 - 00:03:02:05
From there, if there's only one hot folder
which has the most mapping parameters
00:03:02:05 - 00:03:05:08
in common, then the system knows that's
where the output
00:03:05:08 - 00:03:08:22
for that particular product needs to go.
00:03:13:15 - 00:03:14:28
So in this scenario,
00:03:16:12 - 00:03:17:20
product number one has gone
00:03:17:20 - 00:03:21:19
to print location
one and hot folder three.
00:03:24:08 - 00:03:25:25
Next, looking at product number two.
00:03:25:25 - 00:03:28:17
Now, product
number two is a variable type product
00:03:28:29 - 00:03:33:04
with a product tag of tag
two and a category of category one.
00:03:34:13 - 00:03:37:23
So again, first of all, we check
if that product type is copied at all.
00:03:37:24 - 00:03:40:22
And we can see that
this is so we passed that gate.
00:03:41:09 - 00:03:44:22
We then take a look at all of the hot
folder mapping properties.
00:03:46:14 - 00:03:49:17
And in this case, we can see that
there's multiple hot folders
00:03:49:17 - 00:03:52:28
which reach the same number
of mapping properties,
00:03:53:10 - 00:03:56:06
so that there are three potential
hot folders there, which all have
00:03:56:06 - 00:03:58:19
the same maximum number of properties.
00:03:59:08 - 00:04:02:25
When this scenario occurs,
the system will randomly allocate
00:04:02:27 - 00:04:07:25
the output of that particular product
to one of those hot folders.
00:04:13:01 - 00:04:14:20
Finally, we have product number three.
00:04:14:20 - 00:04:18:07
This is a multipart product
with a product tag of tag one
00:04:18:18 - 00:04:20:25
and a category of category one
00:04:20:25 - 00:04:24:09
As always,
we'll start by trying to go and check
00:04:24:19 - 00:04:27:01
whether that product type
is actually set to copy.
00:04:27:25 - 00:04:32:09
And in this case,
we can see that it isn't.
00:04:33:09 - 00:04:34:28
That means the process stops here.
00:04:34:28 - 00:04:38:05
The output from product
three does not get dropped into any
00:04:38:05 - 00:04:40:06
of the hot folders.
