This tutorial introduces the

00:00:10:03 - 00:00:13:18
functionality,
allowing orders for products to be placed

00:00:13:24 - 00:00:16:04
without the initial specification
of artwork.

00:00:16:26 - 00:00:19:26
This applies to products
which traditionally require artwork

00:00:19:26 - 00:00:22:25
to be provided,
such as multi-part products.

00:00:24:10 - 00:00:26:04
This functionality allows you to proceed

00:00:26:04 - 00:00:28:16
through the ordering process
and place an order.

00:00:29:17 - 00:00:32:13
The order will then be registered
but will not proceed through the

00:00:32:14 - 00:00:37:19
Infigo system until the user uploads
the artwork to that job or for that job.

00:00:37:26 - 00:00:42:04
From there, my orders page.

00:00:42:07 - 00:00:45:27
So the first thing we're going to do
to show this is navigate to your Infigo

00:00:45:27 - 00:00:48:13
settings.

00:00:54:13 - 00:00:56:25
Now, right at the bottom of that page,

00:00:57:12 - 00:01:01:10
we have an option here
which is allow ordering without artwork.

00:01:01:25 - 00:01:05:20
So this setting allows you
to define the scope of this functionality

00:01:06:09 - 00:01:09:18
so it can be disabled completely
if you don't wish to allow this option

00:01:09:18 - 00:01:11:06
to be possible.

00:01:11:06 - 00:01:14:29
It can be applied globally,
so it happens to all relevant products

00:01:15:10 - 00:01:18:04
or it can be defined
on a per product basis.

00:01:18:26 - 00:01:21:23
In our example, I'm
going to set this to a per product basis.

00:01:22:02 - 00:01:24:29
This will mean some additional
configuration for each product.

00:01:24:29 - 00:01:28:23
We wish to apply this to,
and it's going to go to the top

00:01:28:23 - 00:01:32:16
of the page and save it.

00:01:34:29 - 00:01:35:29
Next, I'm going to navigate

00:01:35:29 - 00:01:42:21
to our product management,
and I'm either going to locate

00:01:42:21 - 00:01:47:24
or create a relevant product
such as a multipart product.

00:01:48:06 - 00:01:49:28
So I've got an example here,

00:01:49:28 - 00:01:53:07
and I'm going to navigate to its product
variant settings.

00:01:53:19 - 00:01:56:27
So you can do that either by clicking on
the plus icon and going to edit,

00:01:57:15 - 00:01:59:22
or if you go and edit the main product,

00:02:00:25 - 00:02:02:28
you can also get to it through the product
variant

00:02:02:28 - 00:02:13:08
tap here.

00:02:13:08 - 00:02:17:28
Scroll down on the info tab
until you find a relevant option.

00:02:17:29 - 00:02:20:16
So we've got allow ordering
without artwork.

00:02:20:28 - 00:02:25:19
If you want to enable the functionality,
make sure that's checked.

00:02:25:25 - 00:02:34:03
Go to the top of the page and save it.

00:02:34:03 - 00:02:35:14
And that's all we really need to do.

00:02:35:14 - 00:02:38:19
So I'm going to demonstrate
what this functionality does now.

00:02:38:20 - 00:02:40:09
So I'm just going to go ahead and

00:02:41:09 - 00:02:42:19
impersonates one

00:02:42:19 - 00:02:45:05
of the customers that I have
on this particular storefront

00:02:45:21 - 00:02:55:28
and go and place
an order for that particular product.

00:02:56:21 - 00:03:01:03
Now what you'll see if we have the option
activated as well as the usual start

00:03:01:03 - 00:03:05:22
button, which will take us immediately
to a page to upload the relevant

00:03:05:22 - 00:03:09:23
pdf the artwork for that particular order
we want to place.

00:03:10:10 - 00:03:13:03
We also have this add to basket
button now as well.

00:03:13:09 - 00:03:16:08
So this will allow us to bypass
the uploading of that artwork

00:03:16:16 - 00:03:24:20
and add this product straight to basket.

00:03:24:20 - 00:03:41:16
And then just going to proceed
through my check out and place that order.

00:03:44:00 - 00:03:46:04
So with the order placed,
I'm just going to go to the

00:03:46:04 - 00:03:49:23
My Orders section that your end users
would also be able to see

00:03:50:20 - 00:03:53:20
the recently placed
orders can be seen within this page.

00:03:54:03 - 00:03:57:21
However, if I go and view that order
in a bit more detail,

00:03:57:21 - 00:04:02:02
which still says processing for the time
being, you'll see that we have

00:04:02:02 - 00:04:06:07
this additional button which is suggesting
the product requires finalization.

00:04:06:16 - 00:04:09:13
And this is because we've not got
the required artwork in order

00:04:09:13 - 00:04:12:27
to finalize
pushing this through the Infigo system,

00:04:14:18 - 00:04:15:15
click on finalize.

00:04:15:15 - 00:04:17:21
It will take you to the artwork
upload page

00:04:18:29 - 00:04:21:01
and then just select the artwork
you wish to include.

00:04:22:10 - 00:04:23:20
Preview

00:04:24:07 - 00:04:32:09
and then save.

00:04:32:23 - 00:04:35:16
If I go back to my orders
and review that again,

00:04:35:23 - 00:04:38:10
you'll see that
that finalized button has now disappeared

00:04:38:21 - 00:04:41:12
and we can now see the artwork
that's been uploaded.

00:04:41:12 - 00:04:53:17
So we know that's now been successful.

00:04:53:17 - 00:04:55:02
So we'll take a look at

00:04:55:02 - 00:04:58:21
the changes in the order status
after we've completed this process.

00:04:59:01 - 00:05:03:18
So we're going to have a look on our admin
area at shared print operations

00:05:03:18 - 00:05:07:09
and we'll just see how it's progressed
as we've performed those operations.

00:05:08:01 - 00:05:09:25
So I'm just going to locate that
particular job.

00:05:09:25 - 00:05:11:05
So it's a multipart product.

00:05:12:20 - 00:05:13:05
You can see at the

00:05:13:05 - 00:05:15:29
moment this is the recent one
I've put in the product with artwork

00:05:16:09 - 00:05:20:15
and we can see that it's
now triggered as output creation pending.

00:05:20:15 - 00:05:23:28
So it has triggered
once we've loaded that artwork

00:05:24:06 - 00:05:26:23
and it's going through the process
of actually producing that

00:05:27:02 - 00:05:30:18
for our print operations
to actually utilize.

00:05:31:17 - 00:05:34:16
If you want to see the different stages
that it's gone through in terms

00:05:34:16 - 00:05:38:21
of changing order status,
expand the job, click on show

00:05:38:21 - 00:05:43:04
all next to status history
and you can see how that's been changing.

00:05:43:04 - 00:05:45:11
So the order was initially placed

00:05:45:11 - 00:05:48:23
and you can see that since we uploaded
the artwork, it's been recreated

00:05:49:13 - 00:05:53:24
and then the actual output
is going to be created as well.
