Navigating the Print 2.0 user interface

This article provides a quick introduction to the Print 2.0 user interface and the various functionalities it provides for your printed publications.

What is Print 2.0

Print 2.0 is the updated version of our Print offering, accessible directly from your inriver dashboard. It allows you to configure and transform data used for printed publications quickly. Print connects with Adobe InDesign, using the 65bit EasyCatalog plugin, enabling your graphic design team to access the latest, approved files, images, and data directly from inriver.

What does Print 2.0 look like

The interface is divided into four areas:

• The navigation menu on the left allows you to move between different modules. Each module serves a separate Print operation.
• The main area changes depending on the module you are currently on.
• The Tenant drop-down on the top allows you to switch between different tenants. This is available only if you have multiple tenants for multiple clients.
• Clicking on the user name on the top right allows you to change your password and log out of the platform.

The Dashboard contains quick access to the modules, with a short description and quick access to information on using and configuring Print.

In the Source module, you can

• access parents of displayed content using navigation breadcrumbs.
• search for entities by typing their name.

• determine the entity level for your publication dataset.
• use wildcards in fields when looking for data with child or parent relations.

Add-on modules

 

Configuration (for tables)

Similarly to creating a new configuration, you can use the Configuration module to add a table configuration in any existing configuration. This allows you to reuse the configuration for multiple publications, instead of having to remake the table every time.

In the Configuration module, you can

• choose the configuration.
• choose the formatting, including custom formatting by saving a .dll file in the Control Center.
• choose and preview the table orientation.

See How to add a table configuration in Print 2.0 to learn more.

File Import

In the File Import module, you can upload an external .csv file and connect it to your inriver data.  

In the File Import module, you can

• drag and drop .csv files.
• give a new name and a description to the files.
• choose specific fields to upload.
• create a link between data sources.
• add the .csv fields to the correct configuration.
