Introduction

Objectives

In the ONYX suite, ONYX Designer is the module dedicated to creating document templates. This page is a reference guide for the configuration and usage of Designer in the ONYX Suite. This introduces you to all the features of the application.

Prior training is required to use Designer. This page is not intended to replace the dedicated training.

Presentation of Designer

Designer is the design and graphic mapping module for documents. It is used to transform simple files with static data into high-quality graphic documents.

In the ONYX Suite, Designer relies on the use of XPS Mapping design language (MXPS).

No software keys are required to use Designer on a Windows workstation.

The software runs on Windows workstations and features a dual sided user interface. The first part is a drawing view used to create overlays, which can be compared to pre-printed paper in the printing industry. The second part is a dynamic view used to retrieve data, manage it and display it.

Whether it comes from a file, is extracted from a database or an ERP, or is formatted beforehand via the Connect software, data is displayed "flat" (paginated text format) or in XML (compatible with Designer - see 6.3 Mode XML : syntax and specifications).

The template (document template) is designed on the user workstation that is hosting the application with a "Preview" mode to validate changes as soon as they are made. During the design process, the document template is called a Designer Project.

The template is then generated and imported on the ONYX Server (Linux or Windows) to be used in production. This is then called a Designer Format.
