Online Content Catalogue Templates

[bb2]

Hi

The content team are regularly adding new content for Xara Cloud and a large number of these updates also make it into the OCC. Additional content is also created specifically for the desktop products.

The last Major OCC update was in June as announced https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...Catalog-Update. Prior to this, the OCC was also updated as part of the product updates in May 2018. http://releasenotes.xara.hosting/designer-pro/ We are therefore continuing to release new features and updated content on a consistent basis and as ive previously mentioned we are continuing with the product development along with research to allow us to deliver further updates later within the year.

Its not always as simple as adding XC content into OCC. Certain content requires different markup rules and the product owners decide on what content should be included based on feedback. We will therefore forward your suggestion on adding the E-Books and Resumes.

Thank you.

Bhavesh, thank you.

The point I was trying to make is that the Xara Cloud gets regular updates, content and functionality; it is now Version 42. I don't recall its version number at full launch.
Additions to the OCC should be as frequent.

If I can dip into the XC and open a template, I can save it as a Cloud file and re-open it in my Desktop application, your integrated environment.
I can clearly save it locally. It therefore ought to be in the OCC.
I was putting the case for aligning all the XC Templates into the OCC. Clearly, the OCC has to be the superset until XC can deliver full website capability.

"product owners" sounds like Xara GmbH are acting as the head of the family and good-old Xara Desktop application is the orphaned cousin looking for OCC handouts; the exact opposite of what Matt Bolton has been asserting.

Thanks for your feedback Acorn.

We are continuing to provide solutions, updates & features across the range and have released both desktop product updates and OCC updates over the last two months. Content between XC and the desktop products is always likely to differ. The same is true between the different desktop products.

There's a large amount of content provided within the OCC which is not available in XC and one of the reasons is the products differ in functionality and user experience. It can be argued that each product appeals to a different user base so this will always be the case. Additionally releasing content in the OCC is more invovling than what meets the eye.

The product owners along with the management team always provide careful consideration during feature development. There are times when features are initially released in the desktop products and not included within XC for a variety of reasons and the opposite can also be true. The point is our desktop product range along with the customers and the entire talkgraphics community are extremely valued and appreciated.

Your suggestion of including the e-books and resumes has already been forwarded and please feel free to pm me or contact me via email if you wish to discuss this further.

Thanks again

Bhavesh, thank you for the clarifications. I do appreciate XC has different emphases over the Desktop applications and i can understand the mechanics around maintaining the OCC schema with its metadata.
I also understand the end user perception and sometimes a product owner might not have a full suite of User Stories or Scenarios to test against. That is where user interaction through TG should be seen as the mother lode. Free consultancy!
