If your business has dealers, resellers, affiliates, sales people or others who need to create custom PDF catalogs or brochures, you will probably be interested in the Catalog-on-Demand multi-user capabilities.

In the context of a multi-user environment, we refer to “regular’ Catalog-on-Demand as Configuration Edition. That is because its purpose is to make the configurations (similar to templates) that will be used in Lite Edition.

No. If you already know how to use Catalog-on-Demand in a single-user environment, then it is exactly the same application. The only difference is the use of tokens for contact information.

Each user of Lite Edition sees their publication history immediately upon signing in. There is a download link for each publication.

Users of Lite Edition can see only the publications that they have created.

Give your users this URL to sign-in: https://www.catalog-on-demand.com/signin. That will redirect to the secure sign-in page.

If you have dealers, resellers, affiliates, sales people or others who need to create custom PDF catalogs or brochures, you will likely be interested in the Catalog-on-Demand multi-user capabilities.

• The User Manager lets you add, manage, and track users. It also gives you the ability to manage user permissions.
• The Lite Edition lets your users quickly and easily create custom catalogs from their computer. All they do is fill in the title. Their contact info and logo are automatically pulled in.
• The Mobile Edition gives the same functionality as the Lite Edition, but can be operated from any phone or tablet.

If you are interested in having this functionality for your business, please contact us for a quote.

The User Manager is for Catalog-on-Demand accounts that are licensed to support multiple users, such as for sales people, dealers, affiliates, etc. It allows the account administrator to:

• Add, edit, or delete users
• Edit profiles, including name, company, address, email, time zone, logo, etc.
• Set privileges
• View publications created by that user
• View real-time reports set up by that user
• View analytic graphs for that user, such as number of downloads, number of clicks and scans, etc.

If you are interested in enabling multiple users for your account, please contact the Catalog-on-Demand help desk.

Accessing User Manager

Sign in using the same administrator user ID and password from when you started your account.

Editing Privileges

To edit privileges for a user, click on the privileges button from your user list.

Check the appropriate box for each privilege that you want to give that user. The choices are:

• Lite Edition / Mobile Edition — This is for sales people who need to be able to create their own custom catalogs or brochures. If you check this box, you can select which Configurations will be accessible by that user.
• Configuration Edition — This is for your graphic designers and other staff who are responsible for creating configurations for use by sales people.
• Private Data Editor (PDE) — This is for data administrators who are responsible for managing your product data and images
• Flexible Job File (FJF) Edition — This is for using files to launch jobs.
• Data export — This gives users the ability to export product content via PDE.
• Data import — This gives a user the ability to import product content via PDE. Use extreme caution in assigning this privilege.

The Lite Edition of Catalog-on-Demand is a simple, fast way for sales people to launch publishing jobs. It offers the same functionality as the Mobile Edition.

Users of the Lite Edition can select from Configurations that you have privileged to them. They may enter a title for the publication, edit their contact information, and select products.

They can also view their job history and analytics.

The Mobile Edition of Catalog-on-Demand is a simple, fast way for sales people to launch publishing jobs from their phone or tablet. It offers the same functionality as the Lite Edition. It is accessible at this URL:
