INTEGRATED WEB-BASED WORKFLOWS

publishing:management whiteboard provides an integrated workflow for the creation of print pub- lications. Starting from the manual compilation of content for publications using a WYSIWYG mode to the automatic generation of InDesign® documents to the web-based digital correction and change workflow. publishing:management whiteboard and priint:comet desktop plug-ins are tightly integrated. Depending on the workflow you decide, which operations you complete on the web and which ones you complete in InDesign®.

FIELDS OF APPLICATION

The publishing:management whiteboard can be used flexibly: as a digital manuscript tool, as a digital correction tool, as an enterprise web-to-print solution to produce individualized catalogs, flyers, instore communication etc. or as an editorial interface for employee / customer magazines. Due to a powerful rights system, the whiteboard can be configured individually for each case of application and each user group.

PAGE GENERATION

The page generation is analogous to the operation of the priint:comet desktop plug-ins. This means that pages can be generated via template-based drag & drop or via automated page generation (grid layout, placement layout and flow layout). It is also possible to edit generated pages subse- quently, like e.g. deletion of or adding new products. Any page breaks necessary are made auto- matically.
