uCreate Print can be integrated with Circle, providing you with an easy and convenient way to work with your campaigns and documents using the familiar desktop application on your local computer. After connecting uCreate Print to Circle, you can design your documents directly on your desktop while storing the content on Circle and leveraging the print production power of the XMPie server. Thus, Circle acts as a central storage and production repository. This integrated environment allows to:
-
Relieve the user of document management responsibilities
-
Automate resource management (documents, assets, fonts, data sources)
-
Optimize production workflow
-
Ease correction cycles and edits
Before you can work in a Circle connectivity mode, you must be able to connect to an XMPie server with a valid username and password. For this purpose, you must install the connectivity license on the uProduce server, as explained in the uProduce documentation.
uCreate Print connectivity supports HTTP protocol (SSL) on Circle.
Working in a connectivity mode you can do the following:
-
Upload a static document to Circle
Start designing your static document in uCreate Print and then bind it to a Circle touchpoint. The data source, the plan file, the assets and the fonts should already be uploaded to Circle.
-
Open a document from Circle
Open a document that is bound to a print touchpoint on Circle and edit it in uCreate Print.
