Projects - Tab - Colourways

You can manage multiple colourways within a single Project. Use this tab to access the window and manage your colourway options.

Colourways are listed in alphabetical order, each with its own Colour Card. On each card, you can:

• Select a colour or upload a swatch image, or choose one from your Collection Palette or Raw Materials.
• View its In Use, Active, and Published status.

Tip: You can also manage product imagery on this tab.

Image 1 and Image 2 on the 'Images - All Colours' card will pull through onto the cover page of your tech pack if applied. Otherwise, they will be taken from the first alphanumeric colourway in your list of project colours.

1. Manage Colourways - Click [Manage Colourways] to open the Manage Product IDs window, where you add and edit the Style, Fabric and Colour names for your project. You can also click [Select Swatches] there to add colours or images from your Collection Palette or Raw Materials.
2. Filters & Search - Use the dropdown to show Colour Cards by Image, Colour or All Types (default). Use Text Search to find a Colour Card. Tick Include Not In Use or Include Inactive to also show colourways that aren't marked as In Use or Active.
3. Product Images - Add up to two images here: Product Image 1 and Product Image 2. These are used as the cover images on your tech pack, for example your front and back CAD drawings.

#Swatch Colour card

Note: Use this card to add a colour swatch using a hex code.

1. Type - Swatch Colour.
2. Colour - The colour name from the Manage Product IDs window. This is read only and shown for reference.
3. Alternative Colour Ref - Add your own internal reference for this colour. This is only used in Z.Studio.
4. Status - Shows whether the colourway is In Use, Active and Published.
5. Hexcode - Enter a hex code, or use the eyedropper to pick a colour from your screen.
6. Palette icon - Click the palette icon next to the Hexcode to open the Select Swatches window and choose a colour from your Collection Palette or Raw Materials.
7. Preview - A preview of your chosen colour.
8. Collection Palette - Click [Push To Palette] to add this colour to the Collection Palette of the collection this project sits in.
9. Product Images - Upload images specific to this colourway. If the Images - All Colours card has no images, the images from the first colourway (in alphanumeric order) that has them are used. These images always appear on the Colourways page of the tech pack.

#Swatch Image card

Note: Use this card to add a swatch from an image, such as a print or pattern.

1. Type - Swatch Image.
2. Colour - The colour name from the Manage Product IDs window. This is read only and shown for reference.
3. Alternative Colour Ref - Add your own internal reference for this colour. This is only used in Z.Studio.
4. Status - Shows whether the colourway is In Use, Active and Published.
5. Image - Click [+ Select File] to upload a swatch or pattern image. A preview appears next to it and on the colour card. To use an existing image instead, click the three-dot menu on the image, select Select from Collection/RM, and choose one from your Collection Palette or Raw Materials in the Select Swatches window.
6. Collection Palette - Click [Push To Palette] to add this image to the Collection Palette of the collection this project sits in.
7. Product Images - Upload images specific to this colourway. If the Images - All Colours card has no images, the images from the first colourway (in alphanumeric order) that has them are used. These images always appear on the Colourways page of the tech pack.

Note: Colourways and palette entries are never linked. When a swatch is used in another project or collection, its information is copied at that point and the records are independent from then on.
