Generating Merchandising Guides

You can generate documents describing the merchandising guides of a 3D composition such as a gondola or scene. These documents are generated in .pdf or .xls format.

Required access roles: Author

Note: You need the 3D Merchandiser business role to generate merchandising guides.

You can configure several templates to define the content and format of generated documents.

  1. Click Save to save the object.
  2. In the Merchandising menu, select Generate .
    The Documents panel appears. The Documents panel has the Merchandising Guides section.
  3. Select the languages you want to generate the document in:
    • English
    • French
    • Spanish
  4. Select a template that defines the content and format of generated documents.

    Note: Your Business Administrator can configure the merchandising guides template.

  5. Select the directions.
    Each direction is generated in each language in a different document.
  6. From the Orientation list, select one of the following:
    • Portrait - 1 Section: To generate realistic and symbolic views of the merchandising guides of a gondola in the portrait layout, and one section is generated on one page.
    • Landscape - 2 Sections: To generate the merchandising guides of a gondola in the landscape layout.

    By default, Landscape - 2 Sections is selected.

  7. From the Resolution list, select one of the following:
    • Low: To generate the merchandising guides in low resolution.
    • Medium: To generate the merchandising guides in medium resolution.
    • High: To generate the merchandising guides in high resolution.

    By default, Medium is selected.

    Important:

    The selected resolution affects the quality of the realistic images, the size of the generated PDF document, and the time take to generate the PDF. For a higher resolution, the quality of the image, the size, and the time to generate the document are higher.

  8. Click Generate.
    The documents are generated and stored in the database. You can access these documents from the Generated Documents section in the Documents panel. You can also download them.
    Important: Ensure that you generate merchandising guides for a composition only from one Store Studio session at a time.
