Configuring

To have the fully functional range of Cumulus for InDesign documents available, some configurations have to be made:

• The Cumulus catalogs in which you want to store special additional information on cataloged documents have to be prepared. (For details see “Preparing Catalogs”.)

• Windows and Mac OS X only:
To capture additional information while cataloging, the Cumulus plug-in for Adobe InDesign has to be installed on each computer where the InDesign documents you want to catalog are created. (See “Installing the DocWatch Plug-in”, for details.)

• The Asset Handling Set(s) used for cataloging InDesign assets must be set up for optimized InDesign support. (For details see “Optimizing Asset Handling Sets for InDesign Support”.)

Of course, Cumulus can only capture the information contained in the cataloged assets. The captured information will be stored in Cumulus record fields. The corresponding record fields have to be included in the catalog to which you want to add the assets.

Some of the fields “fed” by the special InDesign modules may not be active in the catalog to which you want to add the InDesign documents. To include them in a catalog, you have to add the corresponding fields to the Record Fields in the Catalog Settings dialog before cataloging your documents or updating your records. (For details on how to add record fields to a catalog, see “Adding Fields” .) Note that only the Cumulus Administrator or a user who has the appropriate permissions is allowed to change the settings of a catalog and add record fields.
