Creative Force supports “Shop The Look” via our outfits function, providing your customers with a set of items already styled. Creating a styling set requires a lot of back and forth communication but with Outfits, it is possible in a few short steps.
The styling set is called Outfits in Creative Force and there are three places where you can create outfits: Gamma, Kelvin, and Chroma.
In Gamma, you can either create outfits manually by adding different products to build your outfits or you can import your predefined outfits while creating jobs from a file.
Create outfits in Gamma manually
You can create outfits via the product slide-in on the Production page, Products page, or Sample page. Click a product or sample, then choose the Styling tab in the slide-in. Click ‘Add outfit’. You will also be able to drag and drop the sorting of the secondary products.
Note: You can have only one Primary product but multiple Secondary products in an outfit.
At the time of creation, you can add an Outfit Display image and edit Outfit properties.
After saving your outfit, you can see the items in the Styling tab. The primary product will have a flag icon next to its code.
This means that when the primary product is ready to be shot, Creative Force will also inform users that there are secondary products associated with the primary so they can be shot together.
From the Styling tab in the slide-in, you can see different options to do with the selected outfit.
Eye icon: view the Outfit display image in fullscreen
Three-dot menu:
Edit outfit: Please note that you cannot remove the primary product. But you can remove the secondary item.
Edit outfit properties
Outfit display image: upload an image from your local drive to use as the outfit display image. We support JPG, PNG, PSD and TIF in this section
Duplicate outfit: you can choose which production type of the main product to create the duplicated outfit
Delete outfit
Print outfit sheets: the print configuration will be saved as per the user's previous selection
Import predefined outfits in bulk
In order to import your predefined outfits, you must have the minimum required information in your file which are Primary product, Secondary products, and Outfit code. Then, make sure to map those columns from your file to the relevant Data Property in Creative Force.
Note: predefined outfits can only be imported at the time of job import, you cannot create outfits via 'Add products'
Primary product = Product Code (Main Product)
Secondary products = Product Code (Outfit Product)
Outfit code = Outfit Code
Here is an example of how your sheet could look like.
The Product code is mapped to Product Code (Main Product). This column contains the primary product.
The Product code 2 is mapped to Product Code (Outfit Product). This column contains the secondary products.
The Outfit code is mapped to Outfit Code.
The Outfit Product role is mapped to Product role (Outfit Product).
Mandatory: means that it is not allowed to be removed from the outfit.
Replaceable: means that it is allowed to be removed from the outfit, so you can edit the outfit at a later stage.
The products that are mapped to the Outfit product property that have not existed in the system before, will be imported as styling items which means these items will not have any production data.
