Paper types

The Paper types tab is the place where we can set the types of photographic paper that we have on offer.

The basic information we can find here is:

• Paper name

• Name of the folder in which the photos will be placed

• Paper status (it decides whether the paper is available to customers)

By default we have 2 basic paper types, but you can freely modify them or add your own type.

The display order of the papers can be changed by placing the mouse cursor over the ID column and dragging an item up/down in the table.

Editing a paper

Here we can define the name of the paper type and its status. The catalog determines the folder in which the photos will be placed when the package with photos to download is prepared. The name will appear as a selectable option for customers when placing an order. A given paper type will only be available when its status is active.

The two default paper types are: “Glossy” and “Matte”. Once set, folder names cannot be changed, so if we edit the paper name and would like to have folder names other than matte and glossy, the best solution is to set these two papers as inactive and add our own options, which will automatically have folder names based on the paper name entered.

Adding a paper

Adding your own paper type works in the same way as editing an existing paper.
