Online Editor Overview
Once the StoreFront Package has been created and uploaded for use as a customizable product, administrators can use the Online Editor in StoreCenter to fine-tune the document. This may involve:
•adding content
•fine-tuning the design
•setting constraints to control what shoppers can edit
•adding variables (i.e. interactive form fields) to the document
•preparing variable data Excel template (Variable Data Product)
NOTE: You cannot create a document from scratch in the Online Editor. You must always start with a StoreFront Package.
A light version of the Online Editor is used by shoppers when they customize the product on the storefront.
When creating the product, you can choose one of four versions of the Online Editor workspace:
•Basic: You have the same extensive editing features as in the Advanced version while the shopper can only edit existing frames.
•Advanced: You have extensive editing features to add and edit frames, and change the layout of the document. The shopper also has an advanced set of features to customize the product.
•Forms: In the Forms tab you can create variables for document form fields. To edit the customizable product, the shopper only has to enter information in the form input fields. A Variable Data Product always uses the Forms version.
•Expert: This workspace combines the Advanced and Forms workspaces and enables shoppers to edit certain aspects of the document layout in combination with the forms functionality.
If you don’t see one of the features described in this section, the document may not be set to work with the required version of the Online Editor.
