5 Introduction 1 Introduction Thank you very much for choosing CATALOGcreator. CATALOGcreator is a leading standard software package in Europe for electronic spare parts catalogs and service information systems brought to you by CATALOGcreator GmbH. Using CATALOGcreator, you can generate 2D and 3D spare parts catalogs manually or completely automatically from your ERP or PLM system based on the parts lists, supply them with unlimited additional information and publish at your fingertips. It does not matter whether it is PDF files, interactive HTML versions for off-line and on-line applications or mobile devices. These intuitive catalogs can be seamlessly integrated into on-line shops or service portals, and coupled with maintenance or servicing systems. Enjoy your CATALOGcreator! 1.1 The Concept of the Manual This manual has been organized in a way to help you locate terms, commands and function descriptions quickly. 1.2 Conventions The following rules are used in this manual for the identification of the conventions established. They will always use the same combination of colors, font color and background color. An overview of all conventions: link - input field - pane in the catalog - media element - chapter reference - module - menu item button - pop-up window The link convention represents a reference to another content. The input field convention represents input fields that the user can use to enter data. Numerical symbols encircled with red border represent viewboxes. The pane convention defines panes in the catalog. The media element convention refers to media elements represented in the Catalog module of the Content section. Media elements can have different formats, e.g. they can be 2D graphics, 3D graphics or a PDF document. The chapter reference convention is used to refer to other sections of the manual. The module convention describes a scope of encapsulated functions in the application. A menu item corresponds to an entry in the Navigation pane. A button actively executes a command, e.g. the Save command for the delivery address in the shopping cart. Pop-up windows are used to display additional content in a window without dropping the current content. 5 / 77

6 Introduction Notes and tips look like this: This box contains important notes that need to be taken into account. This box contains useful tips. 6 / 77

7 Introduction 2 User Interface Structure As it is illustrated in Figure 1, the following interface opens when the application is launched: Figure 1 The user interface of consists of different sections with various contents. They can be individually designed and configured depending on the use and the intended purpose. 2.1 Header The viewbox (Figure 1) contains the header. The header is a default section that can be customized. The company logo is located on the left. Personalized settings can be made on the right side via the Profile link. These settings are described in detail in Chapter Profile. If you click the Log off link to the right, you will log off from the current session. The content of the header is always visible in the application and available at all times. Depending on the particular use, this pane can be hidden via the configuration. 7 / 77

8 User Interface Structure 2.2 Main Menu The main menu (Figure 1) lists the main modules. They can differ from project to project and are described in detail in the relevant chapters. Quick search is located on the right side of the main menu. This and other search options are described in Chapter Search. 2.3 Main Area The main area (Figure 1) shows the content of the modules. The content and the layout of this area depends on the active module. Figure 1 illustrates an example of the Home module content. 2.4 Footer The footer (Figure 1) displays general information about the company and the application. If you click any of these links, a pop-up window with the information will appear. 3 General Elements General elements are used to operate. These elements are presented in a uniform manner, thus enabling fast, simple and structured work. General elements are used in for tables, tabs, pop-ups and catalog selector. Each element is described in detail in the following chapters. 8 / 77

9 General Elements 3.1 Tables Figure 2 The data in is listed in a sortable and filterable table. You can sort a column by clicking its title cell in the table header (Figure 2). The selected column in the table will be sorted then in ascending or descending order. The bottom left area below the table (Figure 2) displays the type of the table: 1. Tables with simple selection: The total number of elements is displayed, e.g. You can use the arrow keys of your keyboard to navigate in this table in Internet Explorer. 2. Tables with multiple selection: The number of the selected elements along with their total number is displayed, e.g. You can select multiple rows in the table. A toolbar featuring available functions is displayed on the right side of the footer. Toolbar functions (Figure 2): Add all parts to the shopping cart As far as tables with the parts available for order are concerned, an entire list can be added to the shopping cart. Filter table Only rows with the value in the corresponding column are displayed. There are two additional options to choose from: 1. An asterisk (*) in front or after the input: The table only shows entries that begin or end with this combination 2. The input is within quotation marks: The table only shows exact matches 9 / 77

10 General Elements Show and hide columns With the help of the Show and hide columns pop-up window specific columns can be displayed or hidden. Copy table to the clipboard The current table contents can be copied to your computer's clipboard via the Copy table to the clipboard pop-up window. From there, the content can be further used the way you like. Export table The current table can be exported in XML, TXT or CSV file format via the Export table pop-up window. The filters can be combined across multiple columns. The status of the tables is stored in the Profile and can be reset from there. Each table's initial settings are adjustable. 3.2 Tabs Figure 3 Tabs are used to identify an index card in. The viewbox (Figure 3) shows media element PDF in an index card. Index cards can be used as additional navigation elements. They help better outline the content within a section. 10 / 77
