How to configure placeholder settings

A placeholder is a tool used to designate an area on a product that adds an image or text, such as a logo or a name and number. 

These can be used to set a default that your customer won't be able to change, or as an area where they can add anything they like.

Navigate to the dashboard Design > Design Studio > Studio Settings > Placeholders > Open Editor > Add New.

1. A red rectangle, or your placeholder, will be added to the 2D pattern.

2. Continue to add as many placeholders as you like.

3. Enable each placeholder to make it visible for the end-user.

4. Enter the internal ID for internal reference.

5. Enter the placeholder title in all the languages you have available.

 

Step 3 - Modify the placeholder (optional)

You can resize, rotate and reposition the shape of the placeholder.

 
Step 4 - Define the placeholder rules

1. Define the number of items a placeholder can contain - the minimum is 1. An error will occur if the number of items field is left blank.
2. You can upload one or multiple images e.g., logos, in SVG file format. If you upload multiple images, you can set one of them to be the default image, which will appear when first loading the Design Studio. You can also set default text.
3. If you want images and text to be updated by the user, enable "Able to change default value". The user will then be able to upload their own images or add their own text to a predefined placeholder.
4. You can also allow the image or text to be adjusted inside of the placeholder i.e. repositioned and rescaled by enabling "Free positioning".
5. You can assign a printing technique and make it default. You can also assign a color palette to text. Read more on how to setup a color palette for a printing technique here. 
6. After all the updates have been made, save.

1. Click Studio Settings > Design Steps > Select new step > Placeholder.

2. Click on the dropdown.

3. And add a group.

4. Enter the personalization title and assign the placeholder.

• You can either select multiple or single. In case of multiple, all the placeholders of a particular group can be assigned a text or image.
• In case of single, only one placeholder of a particular group can be assigned a text or an image.

Assign the placeholder, and then refresh the page. This is where you can assign multiple placeholders to their respective categories.

You've now set your first placeholder! 🎉
