- To function as a customized store or catalogue for a select group of authorized users who buy specific types of branded or non-branded merchandise or printed materials from a company.
- Creating new print jobs with online estimation. The views available to different users may vary, depending on each user role’s unique permissions. Similarly, the entities shown in each view (i.e., stores, products, users, etc.) are those a particular user is authorized to see. As a producer, you can access all views and configure all entities in the system.
