User Manual

Template Architect
Template Architect provides a graphical user interface with a template design view
alongside a preview view. This allows you to be able to see exactly how a product
image (or a set of product images) will be rendered from the product data set.
Using the GUI you can select a Template field and define the area on the EPOP display
that the values contained in the template field should be rendered. A selection of field
attributes is also available so that you can apply different fonts, font styles, font sizes
etc. The template field object can be inverted to displays white on black or the object
can be set to auto fit within a bounding rectangle defined by the user.
Template Architect also allows you to create a collection of templates. This feature
ensures that different templates can be used when rendering the data to handle
products that may be on offer, or in a different product category that requires its own
style. A template collection also includes templates for each of the different EPOP
types e.g. EPOP 50, EPOP 300 and EPOP 500.
To define your template collection you will need to start Template Architect, this can
be started within Policy Architect, by clicking the Template Architect icon , the
following screen below will appear, click OK to start a new template collection design.
