You can build your data model and permission sets from scratch. You are entirely free to do so, but we suggest talking to a Fotoware Alto solution specialist for best practice advice. If you decide to do it yourself, consider asking yourself several questions before configuring Fotoware Alto.

A simplified model

Ask yourself the following questions:

• What type of content will you manage?
  • Example: product content, branding, internal communication
• What information do you associate with each of these content types? How would you describe the material to a person outside your company?
  • Product content is imagery for products, with one or multiple products visible, as well as technical documentation.
  • Branding materials are created specifically for each brand and campaign, as well as general branding elements such as a logo.
• Concentrate on this information per type. What is the product? What is the technical documentation?
  • Products are organic foods and non-food articles.
  • Technical documentation includes information on ingredients, production processes, markets, and resellers.

Translate your model to Fotoware Alto

You can collect this information however you like. You can build an Entity Relationship Model, use Excel, or use your preferred mind mapping tool—whatever helps you get an overview of the content you have and the information you need.

1. Layers (basically your content types) to create.
2. Fields per Layer (including the Lists for the Tagbox fields)
3. Lists and List Items (basically every tagbox)
4. Fields per List (which may link to other Lists again)
