Hi All, I just posted a video on one of our Logopunch help forums and thought I would share it here as well. For those with thousands of designs in dozens of directories and those horrible floppy disks finding designs is always a problem. I know everyone has a great system and they can find what ever they want whenever Yeah right ! lol We have been using Workflow before it was called workflow and find it a great tool to catalogue and store designs. But you still have to record designs into the database - a nightmare right?- Not really the system will do it for you here is a simple video clip showing how to store designs into your Workflow database en masse. http://www.screencast.com/users/Logopunch/media/5a8654ba-7f6e-4fa1-9a07-4e38bc62d086 ah this is not html you will have to copy and paste the above address into your browser. I hope you enjoy Regards John

Thanks for the video John! I'm new to Wilcom and didn't even realize what Design Workflow was until I saw your post! I'm reading the documentation now.... what a great product! Thanks again, Tamara

John, Great tip, I have a question regarding Workflow: I'm currently in the beginning stages of setting up my Workflow DB. I noticed in the video that you had several databases in your Workflow, is there a specific reason for doing that? Perhaps we should move this topic to the Workflow forum. Thanks, Sal

Hi Sal, I have a couple of databases setup, one for our custom digitising work and another for our web business the others are only there because I was demonstrating to others the process of setting up. For most buinesses I strongly advise only one database, other wise you are defeating the purpose. By keeping all designs in one database and being able to classify and search on so many fields it is easy to find a particular design. For example it is possible to search for a design with a particular combination of letters in the name, that belongs to a ceratain customer and was created before a certain date with a defined range of stitches and colours. You can be very specific in your search or as general as you like. Regular search criteria can be saved and recalled at any time. e.g we have saved searches for: designs to be sampled: to be digitisised: to be invoiced etc. I can keep rambling about this fantastic program. but to answer your original question my advice is to have one database. If anyone is interested in tutes on other aspects of this or any other ES product let me know. Regards John www.logopunch.com
