Loading a PDF to a specific Wholesaler's HUB
- Firstly check the size of the PDF to make sure its not over 15mb
- Make sure it has a front cover of some description – as this is what will display on the home screen of the ipad. Look at Weekly Specials for example to see what a front cover looks like.
- You will need to take a screenshot of the front cover – nothing too large – this will be used for the thumbnail image later.
- Login to the HUB go to brochures on the Dashboard left hand side – All Brochures
- Tip right hand corner click Add New
- Select the Wholesaler this new PDF will be added to
- Load the thumbnail image
- Load the PDF under File Name
- Name the PDF in the Name section
- For Supplier – use The Distributors as the default supplier
- Load into the specific category – is the PDF a new Promotion etc – Do not load anything into National.
- As a guide: Catalogue is general catalogues, National is for Head Office content only, Office – is office documents such as credit applications etc Promotion is the most popular section for wholesalers – its for their individual promotions, Retailer is for brochures the wholesaler wants their retail customers to also see, Suppliers – is a unique suppliers catalogue, and Training is as the name says for training brochures only
- Leave Customer Groups Blank
- Leave Publish Date Blank
- If the wholesaler has told you that this new PDF is to be removed on a certain date – load this to the TO date otherwise leave blank and hit SAVE
- Once again check the brochure has loaded to the wholesalers ipads
- Sometimes there is a glitch where a new brochure will load to position ONE on the ipads. To move a brochure to another position – go back to the HUB and under brochures click on Brochure Order – the Wholesaler and Category – find the PDF and move it to the desired position
- To load a new PDF to ALL Wholesalers iPads do the above however in step 6 you will need to select all wholesalers.
