Manage your jobs efficiently
When you have projects for us regularly, it is important that you manage them in a way that will help you:
- better organize your files/folders under your account
- recognize/identify a job quickly whenever needed
- clearly understand your invoices, etc.
Please read below carefully and follow how we suggest to manager you jobs, we also welcome if you want to add your own ideas.
Manage files and folders
When you have a new project for us, you usually upload the images first to our server through either our website Easy uploader or FTP, and then place an order form. But before you upload files please follow some simple guidelines:
- Create a folder with name like "18-01-11_Batch-01_ClippingPath_YourReference" (explanation given below).
- Enter into the created folder and create another folder named "ToDo".
- Upload files/folders inside the ToDo folder.
Lets explain the different parts of the suggested job name:
As you can see there are 4 parts in the name: date, batch number, type of service require and your reference.
- Date: give the date you place the order on, 18-01-11 is just an example, but please follow the date format (day-month-year).
- Batch number: give a unique batch number for each job, starting with Batch-01 and then Batch-02, Batch-03 etc.
- Service require: you are also advised to write the service you require for the job, ClippingPath is just an example. You may require Masking, Retouching, Manipulation, DropShadow etc. If you require multiple services just write "MultipleService". Obviously you will explain the requirement in the order form.
- Your reference (optional): if you have any of your/client's reference, that you think should be included in the job name, you can give it here.
When we complete and return your job, we will upload them back in a folder called "Completed" inside the appropriate job folder.
