neoCatalog Layouts are created in XML and TJB format using design and colorway information, adding or not simulation models, using your logo or a generated QR code. neoCatalog provides default Layouts with the most common information for designs and colorways. Refer to the layout description to view the specifications.
NOTE: Since version 3.16.18, when accessing the Layouts management feature, it is necessary to reload layouts from disk (the button) in order to have them listed for modification.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Install Layouts
In 'Layouts' you can upload and download your custom layouts as XML, TJB, and other required files such as logos and fonts. To access the layouts table, go to 'Management' in administration and find the listed options in 'Materials'. Here you can upload layout files in XML and TJB format and other required files as logos and fonts.
The layouts will be saved in /Library/WebServer/Documents/neoCatalog/QuickPrint/Layouts, in macOS and Windows. If any layouts are renamed (e.g., from "Layout A" to "New Layout A" or vice versa), these changes are reflected across the system.
NOTE: Layouts in subfolders cannot be uploaded directly from the administration panel and must be manually copied to the Layouts directory within the neoCatalog folder. After copying, you need to reload the layouts from disk by using the appropriate button.
Customize neoCatalog Default Layouts
If you wish to use your logo in the default layouts, you can replace it easily by yourself.
- Your logo image file shouldn't be higher than 236px x 36px.
- Use RGB mode.
Save your logo in format TIFF with the name Logo. tif and place it in the Layouts folder. Your TIFF file will replace Inedit's logo and will be used in the layouts.
Layouts based on roles and visibility
When a user has access to multiple layouts, including public (visible) layouts and exclusive ones designated for specific roles (such as designer or customer), the following behavior applies:
- Layout Visibility: One layout is always visible in the general view, ensuring that it is accessible to all users.
- Role-Based Access: When connecting as a designer or a customer:
- Designers will only see layouts that are public and exclusive to the designer's role.
- Customers will only see layouts that are public and exclusive to the customer role.
- Any layouts not designated as public or exclusive to their respective roles will be hidden from view.
