Product Module
We had the feature to allow your customers to personalize the templates in bulk using the Upload XLS file feature. This worked great with Large scale products but for smaller-scale products such as Product Labels and Stickers, it was quite tedious.
So, considering the small-scale products, we have enhanced the mass template personalization feature in version 10.1.
Admin Configuration
For this, we modified the "Mass Personalization" setting in the Product Settings, where the admin will specify which options they wish to provide to customers—only XLS upload, only form fill, or both.
If the admin has selected Both in the above setting, then they can also define which option among the two will appear as default selected for the customers.
In addition, the admin can also define if they want to allow customers to personalize the images from the templates.
Front Store Options
After the configuration, when the customers opt to mass template personalize they will have the options based on your settings.
Here, as an example, we have configured "Both" for personalization and kept "upload Excel file" as a default. So, at the front end, the customers will have both the options to personalize and upload Excel file option by default selected:
The customers can select to either enter the data using an XLS file or enter the data manually. When adding the data manually, the customers have the option to add more data using the "Add More" button.
After adding the data, your customers can check the preview of their design with data entered by simply clicking on the Preview button.
Once done with data addition and preview, click on Continue. On the Additional Info page, customers can see the number of records added and one file for the same to proceed further.
As of now, there was no option to duplicate any particular or all product settings from one product to another. Admin has the feature to duplicate the entire product though.
However, from version 10.1, the admin will be able to duplicate settings from one product to another using the "Duplicate Settings" button.
To do so, navigate to the Admin Panel >> Products >> Action dropdown >> Settings.
From the Duplicate Settings screen, the admin can now select the multiple settings which need to be duplicated along with selecting the product(s) to which he wants to apply these settings:
Currently, the proofing tool option is only available in standard products, from now onward the "Photobook" products will also have access to this functionality.
In the photobook product, the visual proofing option will now be available in the Modify Design screen option from the View/Update Order:
In addition, the proofing tool option will have the same album page panel option, just as the Designer Studio.
Admin will be able to see all the comments and make the changes the same as the standard products.
In this release, we have made enhancements to the product option and product option rules.
Product Option Type
There were some options that were available for Additional Options such as the multiple options of Upload files, and Hire a Designer but they were not available in the product option. However, in this version, we have added the same in the product options.
To all admin create product option with upload file types, we have provided three new options in the Type:
We have added the option to hire a designer for master options in the Presentation Settings section:
Weight Setting
For products with multiple sheets, we have improved the weight calculation of master options.
To achieve this, we have added one option "Multiply with Sheets" in the Weight Setting field.
When configured, the weight of the option will be multiplied with sheets (when sheets are configured). In case, the sheets are not configured, then the weight will be multiplied with the product quantity.
Attribute Price Additional Lookup
Apart from existing attribute pricing, now the admin will have the option to add an additional lookup for calculating the master option attribute price.
For this, we have added some settings on the Product >> Product Option >> Action drop-down >> Attribute Price >> Manage Range screen:
Once the Additional Lookup setting is enabled, the admin can select the option for Lookup from Quantity, Area, or Total Area and then add the values for the lookup.
Save the settings and then you can add the pricing for the lookup values added.
Product Option Rule
Till now, if the admin wants to create the product option rule for multiple sizes, they had to create the same product option rule multiple times.
To address this, we improved the product option rule; now, when generating the product option rule, a multiple selection dropdown will appear at the position of size selection:
In the rule description of the product option rule page, we have included a title like "Size, Quantity, and Hide Option" for better readability.
For adding and displaying the Visual Price Calculator on the front store, the admin can now modify the "Visual price calculator label" to appear "up and down" or "side by side" from the "Product page layout" section:
In the book product, the admin can now restrict quantity for the colored and black-and-white pages. In addition, the admin can also set the page interval.
For this, we have two settings in the Settings tab of Book Product:
Now, the admin can set the interval for the book product pages for both color and B/W pages, for instance, if the value is set to 2, then the values for the B/W and color pages must both be multiples of 2 (e.g., 4, 6, 8, 10) and so on.
Now, an admin can select whether to display thumb images vertically or horizontally from the site settings:
