Publishing Platform Manager

Standard Edition

New in version 8, the PPM provides managerial control of your publishing platform tools. The PPM allows business operators such as store managers and district managers the ability to control and change the operation of Web dSignShop by putting technical tasks into the hands of decision makers through a simple interface.

Initial configuration of Web dSignShop is streamlined with all application customizations available through the PPM interface. Then use the PPM Standard Edition to run the day-to-day management tasks for operating Web dSignShop.

Edit members and stores in your organization

Add, edit, and group stores and manage your organizations. Use the Publishing Platform Manager to link individual users to one or more stores. Assign roles to users that control the Web dSignShop interface.

Manage sign templates across your stores and store brands

Assign templates and suites to individual stores to create custom portfolios that manage which enterprise brands a store should show. Use the PPM to define paper stocks, printers, thumbnails, and edit screens that minimize store user interactions saving precious labor dollars. Define custom language strings for use in your multi-lingual templates.

Promote templates and portfolios

Define and manage connections for your development, staging and production databases. Once your templates are created, tested and approved promote them from staging databases to production systems while keeping complex relationships between templates, rules and layers intact. Then promote related portfolios and edit screens as well.

Configure application and server settings

Configure your application for controlling global settings such as server addresses, Quick Builder properties, library behavior, debugging levels, and default user interface languages. Override many of these settings with an individual user's profile.
