[Colin Fleming - Digital Publishing Evangelist] Let's go a little bit deeper
into the produce and publish part of the process.
The produce part is where I start using the DPS Dashboard system
to access the things that I've built in InDesign
and the folios that I've built using the Folio Builder panel.
My experience is going to be a little bit different
depending upon what type of a DPS user I am.
For instance, I'm going to log in to the system using credentials as a creative designer.
I've logged in to the Dashboard as a creative user.
That's somebody who has a free Adobe ID.
On the left-hand side of the Dashboard I can see I have access to the Folio Producer tools,
but I don't have access to the other tools.
That's because I'm working as a free user.
If I'm a subscriber to DPS at the Pro or Enterprise level,
I'll have access to more of the tools on the left-hand side.
As a creative user, I can see partway down the left-hand side
that I can buy a license to build a single edition application.
This is where I would go to buy the serial number to build my custom viewer.
I'm going to log out of this view and I'm going to log back in with a different ID
to show you what it looks like for an Enterprise user.
Now I've logged in as an Enterprise customer,
and you can see more of the tools on the left-hand side of the Dashboard
are available to me.
The big thing I want to talk about at this point is using the Folio Producer.
This is where I go into the web view of what I've constructed in InDesign,
and I can see what I've built, but I can also see what people have shared with me.
So let's go into the Folio Producer area and see what I can do.
Now I'm looking at the Folio Producer Organizer area.
This shows all of the folios that I've constructed in InDesign
and any folios which have been shared with me.
One of the things I can do in the Organizer mode is lock a folio
so somebody cannot change the content or mark it as active.
This creates a little marker in InDesign that tells me that this is active.
I can see the folio name and a publication name,
and I see things like folio numbers.
To edit any of these fields, I simply click into them and then type the value that I want.
The publication date is today.
As I scroll on over, I'm going to add a description.
If you watch carefully, you might note that some of these entries have blue asterisks.
This data is required later in the process when you publish the content.
So go ahead and fill it in as we work.
You can see I already have loaded the covers
and I've now completed all of the metadata for this particular folio.
I can also share folios in the Folio Producer
simply by selecting one and then using the Share command up here.
The experience is going to be very similar to what I had in InDesign.
If I want to go ahead and open a folio, this is where I can see individual articles inside of it.
In the Folio Producer Editor mode I can see the individual articles
and even previews of each of the pages inside of the article.
I'm taking a look at the vertical orientations,
but I can also take a look at the horizontal view as well.
This is sort of showing me a visual cascade of the articles.
I can also take a look at this in a list view.
This is where I can see all of the metadata for all of the articles inside of this particular folio.
Back in the thumbnail view, this is also where I can see that if I hover
I see metadata about one of these articles.
And if I select the article, I can edit article properties on the right-hand side.
This might be LOCAL cover,
Byline: staff, Welcome to Fall.
So by adding this metadata, it's going to be visible inside of the viewer later on.
If I want to change the order of content, there are a couple of ways I can do this.
One is to simply drag the cover to the left of the 2Wheels article,
and now I've changed the order of the reading inside of the viewer.
I can also change the order in the list view by simply selecting one of the numbers
and changing it.
If I make 2Wheels number 1, I've now swapped the positions.
I'm going to take the cover, I'm going to make this number 1,
and again I've swapped them back.
The Folio Producer system is about organizing the content.
I've got 2 articles in this particular folio.
Maybe I want to pull content in from another folio.
I click the Add button and now I can browse through the folios that I have access to.
So I might choose the LOCAL Spring publication, choose the ad for the university,
and I'm now adding something from a different folio into this one to combine the contents.
This is how I can bring content from somebody else into my work.
And again, I can come on back and choose to change the order of the content visually.
This is what I do in the Folio Producer Editor.
When I come back out of the Editor, I'm back at the Organizer.
I can see all those folios ready to go.
Once I've finished the production, I've got everything assembled the way I want,
all the metadata looks great, I need to move to the next step.
That next step is publishing the content.
We're going to talk about viewers shortly.
The thing to keep in mind here is publishing is going to sort of make your content official.
It makes it visible to a custom viewer, or it makes it possible for you to export the content
so that you can inject it into a single edition folio.
You do this by clicking the Publish button at the top of the screen.
If I mark this as private it's not visible to custom viewers,
but eventually I need to make it public so it is visible to the viewer.
I'm going to keep this one private.
Free is where I'm saying this particular folio is free, pricing is set
as a developer at an App Store, Marketplace, or App World.
I'm going to mark this one as free.
I'm going to give this a product ID.
This product ID needs to match the product ID for my application
in the App Store or Marketplace and when I build it in the Viewer Builder.
When I click the Publish button, it makes my content visible to a custom viewer
or it makes it possible for me to download a local copy for Viewer Builder to use.
So that's what I use the Producer tools to do:
pull content in, check the metadata, assemble folios,
maybe add content, and eventually publish it in a way that the Viewer Builder can then use
in the next step of the process.
Thanks for watching.
