Universal Product Code (UPC)

Razuna v2 Legacy Administration
1

This section explains how to implement and deploy UPC with Razuna.

Enabling UPC

The following criterion must be satisfied in order for UPC to be enabled:

  • UPC must be enabled for tenant under ‘Administration>Settings’
  • The folder with the UPC assets must have a label called ‘UPC’
  • User must be assigned to only one group with UPC size set. Assigning user to multiple UPC groups will result in an error message being shown to user while bulk downloading assets in the UI alerting him of the discrepancy.
  • With the above criterion met the UPC rules will take effect moving forward. Any existing assets will need to be re-uploaded for the rules to apply.

File format and Uploading

  • The filename must contain the UPC number e.g. 123456789.1.tga
    The original file should have the .1 version embedded in the filename e.g. 123456780.1.tga, and must be the very first file uploaded before any renditions are uploaded.
    The renditions/views should have .2, .3 etc versions embedded in the filename e.g. 123456789.2.tga, 123456789.3.tga. Upon upload these will be associated as renditions to the original .1 file. The renditions are also renamed based on UPC naming conventions upon upload.

Downloading

  • On download the folder structure in Razuna is maintained so if asset was in Folder1>Subfolder1>123456789.1.tga on download the same folder structure will be created for asset.
  • Downloading assets has 2 options available which are set in the UPC group settings:
    • Download by creating UPC folder
      • Each asset and its renditions is stored in its own folder which is created using UPC naming conventions (refer to APPENDIX A )
      • So if asset was stored as Folder1>Subfolder1>Asset
      • On download the folder structure will be
      • Folder1>Subfolder1>56789>123456789.1.tga
    • Download without creating UPC folder
  • UPC folder is not created for assets

Searching

  • To search for UPC numbers use the link titled ‘UPC Search’ next to the basic search
  • Partial UPC numbers are honored so searching for 3456 will return the 1234567890.1.tga asset
  • The search looks at the UPC fields and also the filenames

APPENDIX A

UPC NAMING CONVENTIONS

The following functions are used to extract relevant UPC names for renditions and folders. All assets are stored in a 12 digit or more UPC format which includes the check digit. From this the client requested UPC format is extracted which may by 10, 11, 12 or more digits. Outputted formats of 10 & 11 do not include the check digit, but all others do.  

The Extract_UPC function takes the stored asset UPC string and based on the group UPC size set extracts the client requested format. The next function (Find_Manuf_String) takes the UPC string and returns the portion that is considered the manufacturer part, which is the Manuf-String. This string is used as the Folder Name of a length of 5 - 8 chars (numbers) which is used for creating the folder structure on download of assets if set for the UPC group. The final function (Find_Prod_String) takes same UPC string but returns the product side, which is the Prod_String of 5 - 6 chars(numbers). The Prod_String then has a file type extension appended to it, like .1 or .3 when outputting a Targa front view or Targa top view.  

Examples:

Client request 10 digit UPC, our file has 12 digits, say 122222333334, the extracted UPC would 2222233333, the folder created would be called 22222 and the front view targa image file would be    33333.1, side view 33333.2

Client request 12 digit UPC, our file has 12 digits, say 122222333334, the extracted UPC would 122222333334, the folder created would be called 1222223 and the front view targa image file would be    33334.1, side view 33334.2

Client request 11 digit UPC, our file has 13 digits, say 0122222333334, the extracted UPC would 12222233333, the folder created would be called 122222 and the front view targa image file would be    33333.1, side view 33333.2
