- | Extensive Admin Controls | + | The Online Designer is driven by the use of templates. A template defines the entire customizable product, eg. a business card, brochure, book, or other design product. A template is made up of one or more surfaces (a surface is effectively a side, eg. a two-sided business card has two surfaces, the front, and the back). Each surface has it's own artwork elements that are unique to it (artwork elements cannot be shared between surfaces). |
- | Basic & Advanced Storefront Controls\\ | + | It's possible for a product in Ecommerce to have one or more templates. If the product has more than one template, the templates can be organized into one or more Groups. When a user on the Store is viewing a customizable product in the Online Designer that has more than one template, they will be able to select from different templates to build out their customized artwork. This is particularly useful in scenarios where the finished product is the same size, eg. a tri-fold brochure, but there are templates for different themes, eg. real estate, restaurant, or music festival. This way it's not necessary to build out a new product for each theme. |
- | The Online Designer has two types of editors available. | + | |

+ | The Online Designer has two types of editors available. Access to the editor types for end-users are controled in the Admin Panel. The basic editor allows the end-user to only modify predefined text and image fields. It is very customer-friendly as the user does not have to learn a lot of commands to use it, and in most cases, it is more than enough. The advanced editor grants additional functionality to end-users including; moving, scaling, rotating template elements, changing the ordering, Deleting and cloning elements, changing text formatting, and adding new elements. | ||
