What are publication types?
A publication type is a folder in which documents for your customer are located. These publication
types’ folders can contain one or several documents, for example a Dutch and English-version of a
brochure. Each customer has his own publication types. The names of the publication type’s folders
are unique to each customer.
Pricing details and/or volume discount tables are linked to the publication type’s folders. Pricing details
and/or volume discount tables can apply to all documents which are in the publication types folder if the
inherit option is selected.
PrintShop Mail 5.2 or later (windows only) can publish PrintShop Mail documents to a publication
type folder in PrintShop Web. You can use the free designer version of PrintShop Mail for that. From
PrintShop Mail you can also add a new publication type folder as well.
The publication types overview shows all enabled and disabled publication types
What are web forms?
Web forms are used for documents that require user input. In this web form you can define the variable
data fields and the entry method for these fields. For example: a variable data field can be a plain text,
a pull-down menu, phone template or an image upload entry.
Therefore web forms specify what your customer sees and which fields require data entry when
selecting certain documents. The chapter Modify the documents settings (The user input fields window)
provides more information regarding modifying the web form settings.
