File control takes place during the validation stage and allows stakeholders to ensure that deliverables meet the defined specifications. Three main tools are at your disposal to perform these checks.

Checking Expected Views

Expected views correspond to all angles and types of shots defined in the specifications for each Reference.

The system displays placeholders for each view planned in the specifications:

• Filled placeholder: The view has been delivered and is available
• Empty placeholder: The view is missing and needs to be produced

This visualization allows you to identify missing views at a glance and ensure that all required shots have been taken.

Controlling Color Accuracy

The color accuracy feature allows displaying side by side all files of the same Reference (for example, the worn and the packshot simultaneously). This display facilitates the validation of the product's color uniformity across different types of shots.

Important: Only files from active productions can be displayed in color accuracy mode.

Checking Templates

Templates (or masters) are composition models loaded into the specifications. They define the margins, alignments, and positioning desired for each view of the product categories.

In Image mode:

• Activate the display of templates
• The templates overlay the images for verification
• Check that the products respect the defined margins

This functionality guarantees the visual uniformity of the site and perfect alignments among all products of the same category.

Advantages of File Control

• Compliance: Assurance that all deliverables meet the specifications
• Uniformity: Visual and color consistency across all files
• Efficiency: Quick detection of missing or non-compliant elements
• Quality: Validation of visual standards before distribution
