Help : Using Lightboxes
Lightboxes save products you are interested in. Adding products to lightboxes does not oblige you to buy. You may create multiple lightboxes, and e-mail lightboxes to others, such as clients or co-workers, for viewing.
You be registered and signed in to use lightboxes.
Adding Products To Lightboxes
Add products to your lightbox by clicking the “Add to lightbox” link on search results or product pages. A message appears confirming the addition.
You may also use the checkboxes found on search results, gallery, and disc contents pages to add several products to a lightbox simultaneously. Once the checkboxes have been selected, click “Add checked items.” To select all checkboxes on the current page, click the “Check all” link. (The “Check all” link is not supported in older web browsers.)
Products are added to your active lightbox, shown in a pop-up menu on search results and product pages. Choose a different lightbox from the pop-up menu, and the next product you add will appear in that lightbox.
To see the contents of your active lightbox, click the “View” button or the “Lightbox” link in the navigation bar or footer.
To create a new lightbox, click “Create new” or “Create new lightbox.” Note that lightbox names can be no longer than 40 characters.
Lightbox Options
Lightbox options include Rename, E-mail, Share, Copy, Move, Delete, and Edit Details.
Rename
Lets you rename your active lightbox. Note that lightbox names can be no longer than 40 characters.
E-mail
Lets you e-mail a message containing a link to your active lightbox. The recipient may view your lightbox, but may not perform other actions.
When e-mailing a lightbox, you may enter up to five e-mail addresses in each of the “To” and “CC” fields. Addresses may be separated by spaces, commas, or semicolons.
If a lightbox contains only type products, you will also be able to enter in custom Flont text. The custom text will be used to display the type samples in the e-mailed lightbox.
See: Previewing Typefaces
Share
Lets you share your lightbox with anyone else registered on the Veer web site.
To share your lightbox with a client or co-worker who is registered on the site, click “Share” and follow the instructions. To use this function, you must enter the e-mail address they used to register.
Copy
Lets you create a duplicate of your active lightbox. You will be prompted to name the new lightbox. Note that lightbox names can be no longer than 40 characters. The duplicate becomes your active lightbox.
Use the “Copy” command if you want to save your lightbox in its existing state. Think of it as a “Save as” option, in case you want to save the current contents.
Move
To move items from one lightbox to another, click “Move.” You must have more than one lightbox to use this function.
Delete
Deletes the active lightbox. You will be prompted for confirmation.
Edit Details
You can enter a password to prevent people you’ve mailed the lightbox to from being able to see it. You may also, for your own references, add a client name and notes. Creation and modification dates are also provided.
Viewing Lightboxes As Slideshows
To view the contents of a lightbox as a self-running, pop-up slideshow, click the “View as slideshow” link located in the grey bar above the thumbnails. You must have a recent version of Flash® installed to view slideshows.
Downloading Lightboxes As PDF Documents
This feature is not available in older web browsers. Please refer to the site requirements for a list of supported web browsers.
To download a printable PDF containing the contents of a lightbox, click the “Download PDF” link located in the grey bar above the thumbnails. When clicked, the “Download PDF” link will change to a “Generating PDF” message.
The PDF will be created in the background and automatically downloaded to the location specified in your web browser settings. The downloaded PDF will be named using a variation of the lightnbox name. For example: “VeerLightboxWinterScenery.pdf”
The “Generating PDF” text may still be visible after the PDF has been sucessfully created and dowwnloaded.
By default, PDFs are formatted using Letter page size. The page size can be set to either Letter or A4 page size in your site preferences.
