  • Inbound tab Settings:
    The Inbound tab configures Lab 50 to find completed, ColorFlow-edited photos.

    • Completion Mechanism:
      • Require operator interaction: If this option is checked, orders will not be sent back to Lab 50 after processing until a lab operator manually clicks the DONE button.
      • Monitor output folder for completion: Enabling folder monitoring will cause Lab 50 to check the photo file count of the output folder specified under the Outbound tab against against the photo file count of the input folder specified in the next section of settings.
      • *Completion file :*If this option is enabled, Lab 50 will monitor the folder containing photos for editing and mark ColorFlow processing as complete once the folder contains a file that matches the entered name.
      • Order folder name change: If this option is enabled, Lab 50 will monitor the folder containing photos for editing and mark ColorFlow processing as complete once the folder name is changed to match the entered name.
    • Photo output folder:
      • Original photos folder: To use the default Photos folder as the location for edited photos, select this option. By default, this setting corresponds with C:\Program Files\Lucidiom Lab 50\Photos. To change this location, access Settings > Order Management > Downloading from the Main menu bar of Lab 50.
      • New folder: To specify that Lab 50 monitor a different location than the standard Photos folder, enter a new location after selecting this option. If the location for storage is on a networked computer, Lucidiom Support recommends using the UNC path to access the location to minimize connection issues. Example: \\labserver\StandardPrints\
    • Pause after completion:
      • Seconds:
      To add a slight delay to the edited photos being recognized as complete in Lab 50, check this box and indicate the amount of time in seconds to delay.
  • Products tab Settings:
    Use the drop-down menu to select one of the following options:

    • Include all products and product types: All products will be edited through ColorFlow using this Workflow configuration.
    • Include the selected products and product types: Products that are checked in the box below the drop-down menu will be processed using this Workflow configuration.
    • Exclude the selected products and product types: All products except the products checked in the box below the drop-down menu will be processed using this Workflow configuration.
  • Sources tab Settings:
    The sources tab is used to specify which types of orders are processed through the ColorFlow Workflow. To enable an option, check the box next to the corresponding type. To disable an option, un-check the box next to the corresponding type. For more details on each type of order, see below.

    • Web / Mobile Orders: This option includes any orders received from your Photo Finale website, iPhone application, or third-party API.
      • Pickup Orders: Any order for which the customer specifies pickup in-store.
      • Mail Orders: Any order for which the customer specifies products should be shipped to his or her address.
    • Kiosk Orders:
      • Express Orders: Orders placed under fulfillment #1 on an APM. This may or may not be called "express" depending on your configuration.
      • Pickup Orders: Orders placed under fulfillment #2 on an APM. This may or may not be called "pickup" depending on your configuration.
      • Mail Orders: Orders placed under fulfillment #3 on an APM. This may or may not be called "mail" depending on your configuration.
      • Skip rendered folio products: This setting correlates with configuration settings on the APM. If a kiosk has been configured to render products at the APM (which is the default behavior), enabling this setting will cause Lab 50 to skip the order rather than processing it through the ColorFlow Workflow. Enabling this setting is recommended. Processing pre-rendered images through a color correction workflow is generally not advised.
      • Skip folio products with rendering & xml data: This setting correlates with configuration settings on the APM. If a kiosk has been configured to render products at the APM and Lab 50, enabling this setting will cause Lab 50 to skip the order rather than processing it through the ColorFlow Workflow. Enabling this setting is recommended, otherwise it would be advisable to change the APM settings to render at Lab 50 only.
