Using Product Variants

After creating product versions on the PrintVis job and creating the sheets and job items that are required for your product (see also Job Version / Product Parts), you can now create the desired variants.

On this variant page, you can see a line for each product version and a column for each sheet that was created.

If all product versions contain the same variants, you can just hit the Create Variants action. This will add a code from the text into each variant column. If a specific variant is not part of all versions, you can just remove it again.

It is also possible to enter codes manually if you want to give them a specific code for better identification when combining sheets.

For the example that is mentioned on the product versions page (see also Job Version / Product Parts), you have three different versions: the English, the Italian, and the German Edition. You have 4 columns:

  1. The cover
  2. The 16 pages text
  3. The 8 pages text
  4. The advertisement for the English and German version only

You can just write ENG-ADVERT and GER-ADVERT into the variants for the English and German Edition, and you can leave the Italian Edition blank because this one does not contain this advertisement variant. PrintVis automatically calculates the job item quantity for this insert for the advertisements.

Next Step

After the variants are created, you can go ahead and combine sheets and/or plate changes. See also Combined Sheets).
