Products are defined in groups. The individual components that will be included in a Composite Product must be defined in a group under Component Groups. These groups are hidden and are not visible in the online store. See Product Groups Overview for more details.
You can use existing products or create new products, but there are the following limitations on Dynamic and Static Documents so that they can become valid components for a Composite Product.
Dynamic Documents
· Must not use Recipient Lists
· The proof format is limited to PDF format only
· Packs cannot be used as a pricing unit of measure
Static Documents
· The output and proof format is limited to PDF format only
· Packs cannot be used as a pricing unit of measure
An Upload Product is a set of definitions used as a base for uploaded files. If the Composite Product includes an Upload Product, end-users will be able to upload their own documents and print using the uStore store owner (print shop). A Composite Product can only include one set of definitions (one Upload Product).
When setting up an Upload Product you must:
· Select an Output Paper Size from a list of preset options
· Enter a value for Max uploaded no. of pages (optional)
Upload Product settings:
· Product Properties: For more information, see Adding Product Properties.
· Product Pricing Setup: For Upload Products the prices and calculation of delivery weight are per page/sheet. For more information, see Setting Up Product Pricing Parameters.
· Product Delivery Setup: For more information on Product Delivery Setup, see Setting Up Delivery.
· Product Prepress Setup: When you set up Composite Components, you can merge all the components and run them according to the Composite Prepress Setup.
To merge all components, select the Merge all components and use the Composite Prepress Setup checkbox in the Composite Components page. If you clear this option, each component runs according to its predefined workflow. The Composite Prepress Setup is disabled.
For more information, see Setting Up Prepress Workflows.
