Brand settings in Studio Server

Within the Studio Server environment, a Brand is a representation of your publication: it defines a newspaper, magazine, catalog, and so on.

Example: A Brand is named 'My Newspaper', 'My Magazine', and so on.

A Brand contains one or more published issues, such as each a daily newspaper, each monthly magazine, each yearly report, and so on.

For each Brand in Studio Server, the following settings can be defined:

• Name. The name of the Brand.

• E-mail Notifications. Select when users should be notified by e-mail when a file of this Brand has been routed to them or the groups they are part of.

• Description. A short description of the Brand.

• Reading Order Reversed. Define how pages are displayed in the Publication Overview of Studio: left-to-right or right-to-left (reversed).

• Auto Purge. (Only available when the Studio Server Job named AutoPurgeTrashCan is made active.) Enter the number of days when a file should be permanently removed after it has been added to the Trash Can. Enter 0 (zero) to disable the feature for the Brand.

• Default Publication Channel. Choose the Publication Channel that should act as the default print channel used by InDesign/InCopy.

• Activate Relative Deadlines. Select when deadlines should be assigned to Categories and Workflow Statuses.

• Time Settings. (This option only appears when 'Activate Relative Deadlines' is selected.) Opens the Relative Deadlines page.
