The online designer is a simple but powerful tool for the your customers. One common use of ODiE is to enable a user to quickly customize a template with their information. In this example, a standard real-estate sign may be quickly customized by the users with their name and phone number. The user can see what the final product will look like as they design it which makes the required artwork approval much easier and more timely.

In order to use the Online Designer, you must create a product with the type Manufactured and a size must be specified on the Standard attributes tab. Once these two settings are defined then the Artwork tab on the product becomes active allowing you to create artwork for that product.

However, more advanced customization is possible and can include:

• User design elements.
• User uploaded images.
• Images from a shared folder you set up in Cyrious Online.
