There are many different upload scenarios depending on how someone stores their files. They may choose to store all files associated with a design in a folder or they may store only one file for each design combined into one folder. We will explore the later and walk through an example showing how to upload multiple single file designs.
Let's get started!
To Upload multiple single file designs, first select the menu icon in the top right corner.
Then select Upload.
Step 1 - File Upload
Description: During this step, you will locate files on your computer to then upload to EEganizer.
There are three options to select. Check the circle next to Folder.
There are three Pod Types you can choose when uploading with the Folder option.
- Single Design Pod
- Multiple Design Pods based on 1st Level Subfolders
- All Individual files into individual design pods
For uploading a folder containing all single file designs, All Individual files into individual design pods is the best option. In the example below, we have stored five different designs in one folder on our computer.
Next, click the browse button where you will click on the folder you wish to upload. Note: If you double click the folder in the browse window, it will open the folder and you will not see the individual files but may see sub-folders if present. This is by design and your files will still be uploaded.
IMPORTANT: EEganizer can safely handle uploading 12,000 files and/or 2GB of data per upload.
Lastly, click the upload button to proceed to Step 2.
Step 2 - Create Design Pods
Description: During this step, you will be able to see all the folders and files you uploaded and modify design pods to your preference.
What is a Design Pod?
- EEganizer utilizes design pods to:
- store all folders and files for a particular design,
- catalog into multiple product types, categories, sub-categories and designer,
- capture user specific notes on that particular design,
- generate a single thumbnail to represent that design.
In our example, we have uploaded the folder containing our five individual designs. See image below.
Click the continue button to assign tags to each design pod.
