Terminology Flashcards
Article
Articles usually relate directly to a SKU in a 1:1 relationship. An article will use data such as the SKU number as well as other SKU related data like ordering#, name, price etc. Article identifiers key: ROHL=Eclipse number SP=Soid MSC=Order # Walgreens=UPC+WIC
Article Type
The basic characteristics of an article. Example: appliances have different set of fields than woman’s apparel.
Asset
an asset could be an image, logo or other type of file. Mostly TIF files.
Asset Key
Unique identifier number assigned to every asset.
Association
Association of components to elements occurs when InDesign documents are created and components placed on page
Properties
For each article type, additional data fields may be created and linked.These fields can be used to hold specifications, copy, financial data etc.
Automat
a server that produces correction documents (e-proofs) and previews as they are requested by the different Lago tools or workflows. Typically in InDesign.
Component
The individual building blocks in the LAGO production system placed on a page for layout purposes (text, images, logos, etc) all components are assigned to an element.
Component Template
The individual building blocks in the LAGO production system, placed on a page for layout purposes (text, images, logos, etc.) All components are assigned to an element. Component templates are created in advance and assigned directly to the template for ongoing use.
Correction Document
A PDF or shockwave file (SWF) which has been created from a page. In Acrobat or Web Proof, you can create different correction marks with the help of the LAGO correction tools. These marks appear automatically in the layout application when reopening the page.
Document
a sequence of InDesign pages, generally setups either single pages or spreads.
Element
One or more articles and associated components are usually (but not always) linked to an element. An element can be thought of like a container for articles (data) and components (text and assets).
Element Layout
The templates for the layouts that contains one or more component template, which can be used LAGO CS or LAGO Explorer. By associating an element layout to an element, data and components can be automatically placed on the page.
Equivalency List
The list of markets that are exactly the same as the head or main variant. This is shown when looking at a compresses view of variants.
Folio Page Number
Final pagination (sequence of numbers assigned to pages).
Folio Version
A set or subset of pages that can be organized differently from the standard version that has different folio page numbers (different sequence of pages).
Layout Object
Text and/or image boxes grouped into a single component.
Light Table
These are search palettes available in most LAGO applications used for finding and retrieving elements, articles or assets that reside within the lAGO database.
Page Layout
Generally a group of of element layouts that can be placed on a page, populating multiple offer positions with a simple, click drag drop.
Placeholder
Linked text in a catalog/flyer document where data is automatically updated via the LAGO database. The link between placeholder and the data is is persistent and can automatically update text on the InDesign document each time the page is opened. Placeholders are typically indicated in color on the screen (e.g. framed or underlined).
Roles
Collections of user rights. For example, a user is a member of the images role. The images role is associated with certain user rights in order to work with pictures, but has no rights with tex.
Campaigns
They act as directors for storing projects. These help to minimize the amount of effort in finding a project in the All Projects directories. For example, 2018 catalogs or 2018 retail flyers.
Sections
Used to divide catalogs (and sometimes flyers) to improve clarity: e.g. “Appliances” “Tools” or “Mens apparel” would be visual sections in a catalog. The allocation of a double page to a section makes it easier for the copywriters and graphic designers to find working pages that have already been created.
Shops
Shops are used to sort items into structure that corresponds to that of an online store.
Element Splitting
When an alternate presentation of an element is desired for a different market or variant, the element may be “split” and used in different variants where content, size, or position may vary while maintaining links to the database.
Variants
A copy of the base variant of a document that can be used to create different versions of a page for regional use or otherwise.Each variant can be manipulated separately (local) or all can be affected together (global).
Head or Main Variant
A version of the page that gets split when compression is run due to content differences.
Workflow
A status based workflow can be created for documents or media. For example, documents may have a status of planning, layout, correction, or print. Depending on the status users may have access or jobs assigned. Statuses can also trigger automated events such as correction document generation.
Working Page
A sequence of Adobe InDesign single or double pages. These pages can be paginated at a later stage in production when the folio page numbers are created.
Matrix
Set of required criteria when creating a component template.
Format
Pre-determined style of the component created using style sheets for consistency .
Template
Document created in InDesign which allows access to all component templates, style sheets and formats. Allows the consistent application of all to a set of pages in a given media.
Scoping
Pre-determined access to all data and how it will be utilized in the system.
Global: One change in the database updates
Project: One change in a particular media will only update a single variant, other versions have the capacity to be different
Variant: One change in a particular media will only update a single variant, other versions have the capacity to be different

Summarized list of correction marks set by the AE or production

Filtered list of documents visible to a particular group based on the workflow.
