Companies and Departments
A company is an organization that purchases printed material produced by the print shop. Companies
may contain one or multiple departments. A department is an organizational unit and are used to define
territorial and/or administrative divisions of a company.
Publication types
A publication type is a folder in which template documents of your customers are grouped. These
publication type folders can contain multiple documents. For example: a publication type folder to store
different language variants of a brochure (e.g. Dutch and English-versions), a publication type folder
for house style related document (e.g. Business cards, letterheads, envelopes). Each customer has his
own publication types.
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 6.0 or later (windows only) can publish PrintShop Mail documents to a publication
type folder in PrintShop Web. The free designer version of PrintShop Mail can be used for that. From
PrintShop Mail you can also create new publication type folders.
The publication types overview shows all enabled and disabled publication types
PrintShop Web Administrator Guide | 10
Web forms
Documents that require user input use a web form to collect information entered by the customer. Such
a form consists of one or more modifiable elements called input fields (e.g. text fields, checkboxes,
radio buttons, etc.).
A sample web form
Therefore web forms specify what your customer sees and which fields require data entry when
selecting certain documents. The provides more information regarding modifying the web form
settings.
Skins
The PrintShop Web (PSW) web site is fully skinnable. A skin is a series of files that control the
presentation of the web site. Everything except the actual textual content of the page can - and will vary from skin to skin. To allow PSW to be skinnable, style is completely separated from contents. The
web page use standard HTML elements, user defined classes and unique IDs. The style information
is stored in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) documents, allowing the styles to be changed and manage
the styles without the need to change the source code.
PrintShop Web Administrator Guide | 11

documents. Every order goes through the following stages:
