Template Options

Input will depend on the template selected but generally will be a series of input fields that provide variable content. These are some of the options

Required Fields

Each field is either required or optional. Optional fields are shown by the word (optional) appearing after the field.

You cannot process the document until each required field has had a value added. If you click on the Next button without completing a dialog box appears, explaining your error, which may change depending on the field. The solution will then select the required field.

Filling in Field Options

This is general advice on how to complete each document, please read this carefully, as it will save a lot of time and frustration:

The templates allow you to build tailored documents, some are simple, and some are more complicated.
If you have not used the system before, please try something simple ? like a business card or a poster, before attempting the more complex multiple page documents like brochures.
It is a good idea to keep a copy of the document content in a word document. This means you can repeat the order by simply copying and pasting and this allows you to spell and grammar check the document.
You can preview a document as many times as you like until you are happy.
You are only charged for documents that you add to the Shopping Cart and then process. So you can test as many designs as you like.
Make sure you carefully preview each document, the technology tries to ensure that your documents will always be correct, but some combinations of text, fonts and paragraph returns might overrun the printable area, it’s your responsibility to check this.
Nearly all documents will use Branding information from your user and office profile. Please make sure these are correct before ordering. You will be able to see this information in the preview and edit by clicking on My Account.
When pasting text in from the clipboard, be careful to make sure you do not run over the character count and lose the end of your text.

Text Field

A text box will accept text WITHOUT any returns.

A text box will accept as many characters as defined by the Maximum Characters, there is a counter showing the remaining number of characters as you type.

It is a good idea to write your text in a word processor like Word and then paste it into the filed. This way you can keep a record of the text and spell/grammar check it.

Upload your own image by clicking on:

Upload a new image.

Image Formats

All images uploaded onto the site must be JPEGs with the file extension of JPG. These will maintain good quality but keep the file size down for quick uploads.

Any image's file size is controlled by two elements, dots per inch (DPI) and size. It is important that you ensure that your images are:

200 DPI
RGB colour
150mm x 100mm (or a ration of 6:4)
JPG format
File Size of Less than 500KB

Most drawing tools will allow you to set these values. Ensure the JPG Standard format is selected, do not select JPG 2000 or advanced compression options.

Who Can See Which Images

All images are not shown to all users. Each image that is uploaded from this tool is associated with you and only you can see them. If you want to let other users see the image then you must upload the image from My Account. If you are an Administrator, you set an image to allow everyone to see it, if you are a Super User you can set the image to allow all users in your office to see.

Style Picker

The Style Picker allows you to select different styles for the document, though there may only be one style offered.

When the style is selected a thumbnail of the style appears. This is only a representation of the style, so details such as colour, fonts and images will change. The thumbnail may also not show all that pages of the final document.

Radio Button

The radio button allows you to select one option from the list.

Font Size Picker

Each Font Size Picker will be called Font Size Picker, have a required icon and an help icon.

The Font Size Picker allows you select a specific font size for text. Please ensure that when you preview the document that your text fits the space appropriately.

Select

The Select allows you to select one option from the list.
