Creating Products

Before you add a dynamic product, ensure that:

– The dynamic product must first be produced by the uProduce server.

– For each document, you must perform at least one proof job and one process (production) job, each consisting of at least one record.

– If you add an email product to your online store, it must first be tested and sent by the uProduce server.

Note that the proof settings and production settings you specify at this stage will be used whenever the product is proofed or produced via uStore.

For detailed instructions, refer to uProduce documentation.

– Make sure you logged on to uProduce using the same user name that you entered in the Store Setup page.

Before you add an XM Campaign, ensure that:

– In Circle, a project containing the desired flow exists.

– The Circle project is connected to uProduce.
The connected uProduce must be the same uProduce which is used by the store's uProduce user.

It is recommended that all Circle touchpoints are populated with the relevant content.

– In uStore Presets > PersonalEffect Connections, a Circle user has been defined.

– In the Store's Setup page, the Circle user (that has been defined in Presets) has been selected.

Important! The uProduce user must have permission to access the uProduce accounts that are in use by Circle for the Cross-Media Campaign products, sold in the store.

Some product definitions are inherited by default from the store setup (for example, the proof type). However, the definitions may be overridden per-product.

1. In the Store Details page, go to the store's group list and select the group to which you want to add a product.

2. In the Product Group area, hover over the New button and from the displayed menu select the type of product you want to add.

For Storefront Groups you can select Static, Dynamic, Email, XM Campaign, Kit and Composite products. For Component Groups you can select Static, Dynamic or Upload products. These products can be part of a Composite product.

– General - General information about the product, such as product name and catalog number.

– Product Content - The content of the product, which varies according to the document type.

– Cross Media - Define a personalized URL for each recipient and select a Dial that you wish to include in the personalized URL address.

– Proof - Enable customers to proof the product before purchasing and define proof settings.

– Product Groups - Select the product groups in which the product will be included.

– Advanced Parameters - Additional parameters, such as product manufacturer and search engine optimization.

The Save button is disabled when editing the online product. You should take the product offline before saving any changes.

Note that product setup definitions vary depending on the product type. For example, for a dynamic document and email document you are required to select the relevant account, campaign and document to be loaded from the uProduce server, while for an XM Campaign product you need to select the relevant Circle project.

4. Click Save.
The new product is added to the products group.
The main Product Setup page is displayed. This page enables you to customize the product and set up its pricing and delivery options.
