General Dial Information

Edit the general customizable properties:

1.       In the Display Name box, enter the name to be displayed to customers (as opposed to the dial name in the plan file).

Note: When using the Excel pricing model, you cannot use parentheses or other special characters to name customization dials.

2.       In the Description box, enter a brief description of this dial.

3.       In the External ID box, distinguish the dial by providing it an identification number. This is useful when creating custom made plugins for uStore.

4.       The Appears in steps field displays the Customization Wizard step in which this dial appears.

5.       When the Visible to Customers check box is selected, this dial is displayed as part of the product customization process at the store.
A possible use of this feature would be to create several products using a single design. For example, you can create a design with several layers where each layer has a different layout and assign a different dial to each layer (for example, by using a visibility dial). Then, you can create several products using that same document and the dials you have created by exposing the layer you want to make visible to customers. Customers will see only the resulting design as they cannot customize the dials you omitted from the product customization stage.

6.       Sub-property of: If one of the dials in a particular step has a gallery list/grid view input control (see Gallery List/Grid View), you can create a dependency between it and any of the other dials in the same step. Select the dial on which the new dial is dependent from the drop-down list and then select its value from the list of available options.
