Choosing how to create a design

The Home screen offers three wizards under Quick Actions. The right one depends on how the text varies across the run.

Which to use

Wizard

Use when

Data needed

Single Design Wizard

One layout, text varying per item

One spreadsheet

Multi-Design Wizard

Several different layouts from one source

One spreadsheet

Constant Text Wizard

The same fixed text on every piece

None

Single Design Wizard

The common case. One plate layout is produced, and variables pull a different value from each row of the data. A banquet with 200 attendees needs one layout and 200 rows.

Multi-Design Wizard

Used when one source file drives several different plate configurations. An awards ceremony might need one layout for trophies, another for plaques, and a third for badges, all from the same guest list. Each design gets its own dimensions, material, and layout, and all are launched together.

Constant Text Wizard

Used when the text does not change. Signage, one-off plates, and repeated identical pieces need no data table at all, so this route skips data entirely.

Creating a design manually

A design can also be created without a wizard, which separates design creation from data import. This suits jobs where the layout is built first and data arrives later.

Any of these can also start from a saved template, which carries a previous layout and its settings into the new job.
