How to Set Up Restrictions for Design Scope Cliparts Using InkyBay

With this feature, you can restrict the design scope in a predefined template. You have to set the restrictions while creating the predefined template. 

Design scope includes:

1. Default Template: Select and check this to set the whole design template as the default design for the current product. So, when the customers click on Customize It, the designer window will load this design (template) on the product by default.

2. Enable BG: If you want to enable background color and want to set a particular color as the background, check this box and provide the color hex code.

3. Template Scope: The template scope will allow you to set restrictions for the whole design. Under template scope, you will find:

   1. All: Allow all template editing options; by default, it is set to all options. You can uncheck other options as needed.

   2. Add Text: Uncheck this if you want to disable adding new text on this template.

   3. Add Clipart: Uncheck this if you want to disable adding new cliparts/graphics to this template.

   4. Add QR Code: Uncheck this if you want to disable adding a QR code to this template.

   5. Upload Photo: Uncheck this if you want to disable users from uploading any file on this template.

   6. Name & Number: Uncheck this if you want to disable adding Name & Numbers to this template.

   7. Fit with Design Area (Only when loading from design tool): If you do not want to let the template (after selecting from the design tool) get stretched (resized) out to fit with the currently selected product (design area), uncheck this. By default, the template will load in the center position of the current design area of the selected product.

   8. Auto Left Position (Only when loading from the design tool): When a user browses and selects this template from the design tool, by default, the design template is loaded in the center, based on the selected product’s design area size. Uncheck this option if you want to load this template in the same position as you created.

   9. Auto Top Position (Only when loading from design tool):  Uncheck this option if you want to load this template in the same right position as you created. This top position may vary based on the product design area you are creating with and on the current selected design area (if it is a different product with a different design area size).

   10. Browse Template: Click and check this box to let customers browse other available templates (all of your created templates will be here. By default, it will be empty as you need to create a template first).
