Page Options (vers. 6)

Product part options form the basis for your print products. With these you choose paper, formats, coloring, bindings, finishes, etc.

Here printQ distinguishes between product part (Page Part) and product categorization (Product). We deliver printQ with the following default standard page and product part options:

The distinction between Page part and Product is explained by the diversity of the possible print products. Leaflets, for example, only consist of one product part with its respective product part options. A brochure, on the other hand, can consist of the product parts “content pages” and “cover” with their respective product part options in Page Part. In contrast, the Product-options (quantity, production time) are valid for the whole brochure, hence for the complete printing product.

The advantage of this configuration lies in the fact that all product part options only have to be created and entered once and at one point. After this, you can assign them to an arbitrary number of product parts. Should a term for a certain type of paper change, you only have to change it just once, and centrally. The changes will be applied to all products to which this paper is assigned. You can configure product part options under CloudLab Datacenter – Web Product – Page Options. Here you choose your desired option (e.g. paper) and create a new option using the button “Add new Value”. The entered values are called attributes. Standard attributes, which can be found in every product part option, are Name and Code. Name refers to the option, Code is the unique identifier for the option, which is used to reference the option throughout the shop.

Please, do not create any product part options exceeding these seven page parts and five products. Otherwise, articles that were created and published earlier can not be displayed in the shop anymore, because they can not process the newly added product part options. Should you wish or need to make changes in this section, please contact CloudLab support before doing so.
