Designer: Administrators and Users

ContentWelder's Designer tool operates in two modes:

  • Designer: The tool Administrators will use to setup a document for user configuration and ordering.
  • Wizard: A page by page set of guided options for users to configure and personalize a document.

Throughout this documentation you will see references to these terms so it is important to understand the distinction.

Designer

In "Designer" mode, Administrators will go through the following cycle:

In this cycle, Administrators can do the following:

  • Create, edit and manage the document.
  • Edit pages, images and text.
  • Configure what the user can do in the wizard.
  • Test their changes.
  • Make the document available for ordering.

Changes made by Administrators in the Designer mode directly impact how end users will experience a document when they order it and go through the "Wizard" mode.

Wizard

In the 'wizard' mode, the target audience is non-Administrators who order a personalized item from the catalog. The wizard presents the user with a series of guided steps (a wizard) and prompts them for all of the fields they must configure. Below is a stylized representation of a guided track for a simple document where the user steps through each page before completing the document configuration.

The following table illustrates some of the functionality differences users experience between the Designer and the Wizard.

Note: The functionality varies based the Entitlements that the user has been given.
