January 25, 2023 - LAKESIDE Prepress v2.0

User Interface Look and Feel

  • Icon changes
    • Added checked out/checked in icons in the title list view
    • Yellow circle with arrow pointing left - indicates the title is currently in a checked out state (ready for corrections or any alterations)
    • Green circle with arrow pointing right - indicates the title is currently in a checked in state (ready for distribution to a print plant)
  • Trash can updated to a more modern design (Delete)
  • Check out icon, (i.e., to make corrections) replaced with yellow circle with arrow pointing left
  • Added tooltips to all icons in the title banner
  • Added icons to component card for View Pages, Upload Files, View History
  • Removed the ability to sign off warnings or fix errors on the component and title level from the preflight tab (component level sign off is performed from the preflight summary page)
  • Popup window cohesion
  • Popup messages and windows have be redesigned to more uniformly match across all facets of the application
  • Adjusted scale/crop tab to display 4 decimal points
  • Changed wording from ‘job’ to ‘title’ throughout the application in several locations
  • Aligned several color palettes across the application to ensure a more cohesive design
  • Underlined terms and conditions on the component card to make it obvious that they can be read by clicking on the wording
  • Moved the thumbnail slider to the left, changed its color and made it vertical so it does not cover up thumbnails or unassigned corrections
  • Removed some items from the right-click contextual menu that could not be performed on unassigned corrections
  • The preflight summary page has been made easier to read
    • Warning and Errors are now highlighted with a color box behind each category
    • The number of issues currently signed off vs. the total number of issues can be viewed from the preflight summary page

Title History

  • Increased messaging on the component card to better communicate the last action taken on that component
  • A user can now view all components history from any container; including previously deleted components or all components at once
  • Adjust wording on some actions to better communicate the action taken on that step
  • Added new historical entries that were not previously captured (such as check out and check in)
  • Increase number of historical entries that are viewable and improved readability

Creating a New Title

  • Added support for ISBNs starting with 979
  • Cleaned up the look of the new title creation form to reduce confusion

Copy Title

  • Added support for ISBNs starting with 979
  • A user can now copy a title with a customer reference number (previously only 10/13 digit ISBN was supported)

Invite Users

  • Multiple users can be invited to a title with one invite request. Enter the email of each user in the invite users panel separated by a comma to invite all users at once.

Downloading Files

  • Users can no longer download a preflight report from the top right blue page banner download icon. A user must now click on the download report from the component card and will only receive a report for that component. This report will be emailed to the user that requested the report.
  • When downloading originals if a user clicks on the download icon on the top right in the blue page banner that will download all original files uploaded for all components. If a user wishes to only download files for a specific component then clicking download originals on the component card will download all original uploads for only that component.

Performance Improvements

  • Implemented a new system to push updates to users which should result in a more accurate view of a titles current status
  • Improved speed when performing a search
  • Improved the time to load history
  • Selecting an item from the drop down filter list has been adjusted to be more accurate of a titles status

Updated Knowledge Base Articles

  • All knowledge base articles have been revised where appropriate with new descriptions and/or new screen grabs
  • New articles have been added as needed to describe new features or functionality

Backend Changes

  • The bulk of the improvements in this update revolve around changing the front end user interface to a new language
  • These improvements are mostly invisible to users but are a vital part of overall processing and delivery of files
    Improved Automated Print Code detection and enforcement of valid placement and fonts
    Added additional checks to ensure accuracy for multiple scenarios where odd glyphs were used in a font pertaining to Automated Print Code
  • Increased color detection in several scenarios; especially in cases where DeviceN colors are used. This results in a more accurate color detection on the preflight tab where a list of colors found is displayed.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue on the preflight summary page where sometimes a page level sign off would not appear as signed off
