====== Licensing Procedures ======
===== New, Changed or Discontinued items =====
After logo artwork has been approved by licensor:
    - Item is updated in SalesPad/Dynamics GP 
      - Check that the correct decoration file paths are entered in the ''Print File'' fields.
      - Update the Item Status to “New” in SalesPad. This can be done manually or via a SalesPad import upload.
      - Update the Item Class to match the class of the parent blank SKU in GP. This can be done manually or via a SalesPad import upload.
      - Create the Kit so the item is able to report positive inventory. Sadly, there is no template to use to import this info, so either manual entry or a GP macro will have to do the trick. 
    - Spreadsheets need to be updated with all current items for each entity: [[\\PTFILES\SharedGraphics\Licensing]]
    - The following digital assets need to be updated
      - Team style guide
      - Product decoration files for embroidery, engraving and/or digital printing
        - Ask the [[start:posdes#graphic_design|Creative team]] to create Print Files
          - Create Task in [[https://picnictime.projectaccount.com|Intervals]]
          - When complete, Print Files will be placed in “SAMPLES ONLY” folder e.g., [[\\PTFILES\SharedGraphics\COMMUNITY_ARTWORK\Chroma-Tec\_LICENSED\NBA_chroma\_SAMPLES ONLY]]
          - Review Print File against style guide art
          - Request product sample to submit to licensor (NBA excluded)
          - Once get full product approval, move the file to Product Image folder in DAM
            - [[\\PTFILES\SharedGraphics\_Product_Images\Licensed_Items]]
          - Convert PSD to JPEG and place in Product Image folder in Z drive
            - [[\\PTFILES\SharedGraphics\_Product_Images\Licensed_Items]]
            - Open Adobe Cloud- BRIDGE
            - Route to N drive
            - Open working files e.g.,[[\\PTFILES\ActiveProjects\Entities\4-NBA\TEMP_SAVES\1-Working]]

            - Find file want to change
            - Make sure file is named correctly (ex: 522-49-472-044-2_m.psd)
            - Will change both single shots and multi shots (_m)
            - If need to confirm if the item needs a multi shot, go to Product Images in Z drive, all art needs to be consistent
            - Once review and confirm files are good, ready to convert to JPEG
            - Select files you want to covert, can select more than 1
            - Go to Tools- top tool bar
            - Go to Photoshop
            - Click Image Processor
            - File is opened in Photoshop

              - Section 2- this tells where to save file, create a TEMP file on desk top for JPEGS
              - Section 3- 
                - Save as JPEG
                - Quality 10
                - Uncheck PSD
                - Uncheck TIFF
                - Check Resize to Fit
                - Width= 2400 Height=2400
              - Click RUN
            - This is converting to SRGB, taking CMYK and making it Web Ready (RGB files are web files)
