Setting Up Composite Documents

Prerequisite: Before you can set up a composite product, you must have a preview campaign to enable a realistic preview of the document.

To set up a composite document:

  1. Open the product you wish to edit, and in the Product Setup page go to the Document section.

  2. In the Thumbnail Image area, upload thumbnails that have been previously created and will represent the product in the storefront.

    The default display name for uploaded thumbnails is "Page [page number]". If you want to rename the uploaded product images, select the Set the thumbnail displayed namemanually checkbox above the table. Once selected, the Display Name column becomes a text box and you may edit it.

  3. Preview Template: The user must first create a preview campaign that will give a realistic preview of the composite product. It should include available properties of all the components of the composite product, as described in Creating a Preview campaign. The campaign should be uploaded to the uProduce server, using the account that is connected to the store and should go through proof and process procedures before being made available for use in uStore.

    Select the Account, Campaign and Document of this preview campaign. Only the accounts, campaigns and documents that are available for the uProduce user set in the Store Setup page are displayed in the corresponding dropdown lists.

  4. The Take Production Parameters from field indicates the Proof Job ID used for production. The system automatically retrieves the last job performed by the uProduce user as defined in the Store Setup page. You may modify the Job ID if you want to use production parameters from a different job. In case you modified the Job IDs, click the Verify link to check if the entered ID is correct.

    If your store is GDPR compliant, when saving the product settings, all uProduce data sources used by production parameters of the proof job are marked as permanent, and therefore are not deleted by the automatic deletion mechanism of uProduce. This is because the lifespan of the products is usually much longer than 30 days, and the data sources used are either sample data sources, or additional data sources that don’t contain PII.

  5. Select the Use Recipient List checkbox if you want to enable clients to personalize the product using a recipient list. If this checkbox is not selected, the personalization option is omitted. You must select this option if you wish to add a personalized URL to a dynamic or email document (see Setting Up Cross Media Website).

    Once an order has been placed for the product in the storefront or the product is in draft mode in a shopping cart, the Use Recipient List checkbox can no longer be cleared.

  6. Select the Allow Download after Purchase checkbox to enable the customer to download output files, such as generated PDF files.

    • Download order output: Select this option to enable the shopper to purchase the production output files (rather than having the print provider print them).

      If your store is GDPR compliant, the output will be available only 30 days after its creation.

    • Download another file: Select this option to enable the administrator to upload a file that will be available for download by the shopper. The output download is available in the Order Details page at the store after the purchase order has been submitted.

Note: The possibility to download an output of the product that has been placed offline or deleted may have an expiration period configured in the ProductDownloadExpirationDays property in Presets > System Setup > Global Configurations. uStore will start counting the expiration period when the product is placed offline or deleted. When the download period expires, the download icon will be disabled. When hovering over the icon, a tooltip will be displayed, with an explanation about the expiration of the download period. If the product is placed online again, the expiration will be turned off.
