Design Manager allows a user to import a corporate logo into the software and display the image on Proposals, Client and Point-of-Sales Invoices, Purchase Orders and Request for Bids, Client Statements, and Delivery Tickets. For users who have purchased the optional Showroom module, the logo will also appear on the Quotes and Orders. The logo will appear in the top left corner of all the specified documents.
The logo can be imported into Design Manager on the Logo Tab of the Company Information Window.
See Picture and Image functions for details on the functions of this window.
Optimal Logo file sizes:
For best results, the Company Logo file that you load into Design Manager should be about a 100KB JPEG or less. The software will not accept a logo if it exceeds 2MB. The reason that the logo file size needs to be small is for printing purposes. The bigger the file size of your Company Logo, the longer it will take Design Manager to print your documents where the logo is included, so to have normal printing speeds please remember to keep the logo image file as small as possible but to still support the required resolution for your printer.
The functions of the controls on the Logo tab are the described below:
Logo Includes Company Contact Information: Select this option if the company logo has the company address, phone numbers, etc. embedded in the logo file. Design Manager cannot selectively display portions of the contact information (i.e., show the company website but not the company address) so be sure the logo file has all the necessary contact information before selecting this option. If all the desired information is not contained in the logo, it is suggested that the logo, itself, be edited to remove any contact information and to not select this option, allowing Design Manager to display the contact information immediately to the right of the logo. The Logo Includes Company Contact Information also determines the size of the logo that will be displayed on the documents.
| • | Residential/Commercial and Classic Style documents: When Logo Includes Company Contact Information is selected, the logo will appear up to 3" x 3" or as large as the original dimensions of the file if it is smaller than 3" x 3". The logo will be 1.5" x 1.5" when the option Logo Includes Company Contact Information is NOT selected. |
| • | Modern Style Documents: When Logo Includes Company Contact Information is selected, the logo will appear up to 8" x 3" or as large as the original dimensions of the file if it is smaller than 8" x 3". The logo will be 8" x 1.5" when the option Logo Includes Company Contact Information is NOT selected. |
***NOTE: The Modern document style may not be able to be folded to fit properly inside the window envelopes recommended. This style was created for use with Modern technology; such as Emailing the document instead of sending via Postal Mail.***
