Setting up a basic Multi Part Product (for accepting PDF uploads) | BG_010c

This is found under Catalogue > Products > Product Management

Please note, if you cannot access Multi part from this list, you may need to enable the product type from the "Admin Area Settings" screen.

This will take us to our product on the front end of our Storefront so we can view it as our users would.

Remember, you will need to be logged in as (or impersonating) a Storefront administrator to do this. Platform administrators will not be able to view the front end of a particular storefront.

This will launch the upload interface for the Multipart product.

Here we see the default Multi part product editor. It contains several distinct areas:

• A "Selected Options" area which shows our requested quantity of the product

• A number of uploads area, informing our user of how many files they are expected to upload

• An upload area which can either be clicked to launch a file browser, or files can be drag and dropped into it.

As mentioned earlier, there are many additional configuration options available with the Multipart product type, via the config script.

There are however a few additional pieces of functionality which can be made available as part of the Multipart window without any scripting. We will take a look at enabling these, which consists of:

• Displaying selected attributes (such as material and finish)

• Providing a downloadable PDF template for customers

• Adding instructions, to ensure the files you receive as part of an order are correct.

Here will will enable a downloadable file, which our users will be able to obtain. This is useful if you need to provide a template for your customers to use. This can save a lot of time in the long run, as providing a template could vastly reduce the amount of unusable file uploads received.

Click Downloadable product

Then enable Has sample download file

Then upload a file into the Upload file section

Make sure to save the page.

If you are following one of our learning pathways, you may not have come across Attributes yet. This is covered at a later date. Alternatively, there are a number of resources available on the Infigo Academy covering creating attributes and placing them into products.

As a reminder, attributes are selections you give to your users to define the specification of a product. This could be, for example, material, stock, size, finish, colour, etc.

You will not be able to replicate this step if you have not yet configured any product attributes. We will not be doing this as part of this tutorial.

Finally, we will take a look at adding some upload requirements to our Multi part product window.

This allows us to define text, imagery and more with the aim of informing users of the requirements of any uploaded file.

By default, this is a Rich Editor, where text can be directly input or formatted.

As with many input areas in Infigo, content can also be added into this field directly as HTML or via the use of our Content Template functionality.

The more advanced features available using the Multi part product, which are not covered in this tutorial, are enabled by writing script config into the Custom Script area.

Based on our changes, we can now see several new pieces of information available as part of the multi part product editor.

• Our selected options area now contains details of the selected attributes

• A sample download PDF is available at the top right of the screen

• A new section has been introduced in yellow, containing the upload requirements input for the product.
