Using the Single Product Creation tool
If you only have one CHILI Document you’d like to link within printIQ, you may use the Single Product Creation screen. But as with the CSV upload, you must gather appropriate information before you start. And above all: ensure you can receive a price during a Custom Quote session based on your intended products configuration.
From the Admin file menu, go to Factory Capabilities
Choose Single Product Creation
Session Details
Mandatory fields will be marked with a red asterisk.
You must designate your Site, create a Session Name and a Product Code, then choose a Product Category. If you don’t initially see your desired Product Category, just begin typing in the Search field.
The Description field, though not mandatory, is the text displayed next to your Product thumbnail when Users are Ordering.
Product Definition
As with CSV fields, or any Simplified session creation in printIQ, use the drop-downs (both Mandatory and Optional) to configure your product for ordering.
Just a reminder: ensure you can custom order your desired product’s configuration prior to building here. If your printIQ cannot price your product through a custom session, certain section properties or job operations may not be mapped or configured properly
Manufacturing Configuration
These are optional fields based on your plants specific manufacturing capabilities.
CHILI Public Settings
Copy & paste your CHILI Document’s unique Item ID into the TemplateID field
You should only have one System Name selection, but reference your CHILI Environment name for the Environment Field

Click the Edit Pricing Information button, and enter your desired, selectable quantities and corresponding price.
