Let non-designers generate approved posters without giving editor access

The safest self-service design workflow may contain no editor at all. Once a layout is approved, operators can provide only the local content while the template keeps typography, colours, logos and placement under design control.

Start from the operator's task

If a branch manager only needs to enter an offer, location and expiry date, the interface should contain those fields—not every layer and canvas control used to create the template.

Configure only supported modes

FotoFit currently markets Open mode and CSV Lookup mode. Do not design a customer workflow around quiz or other unreleased modes.

Define field rules

  • Use clear labels and examples.
  • Limit content to what the design can accommodate.
  • Explain required image shape and quality.
  • Keep lookup data private and minimal.
  • Test the form with long realistic values.

Keep ownership clear

Templates and Smart Forms belong to the selected workspace. Roles determine who can edit the template, manage the form or only use the published workflow.
