Data Checks

Artwork price matches stated price

Data Checks
This check confirms that a price on cover artwork matches the price stated in the GreenLight Book Cover Panel.

For GreenLight Custom Users only, this check determines whether the price stated on the book’s cover artwork matches the information in the Book Info Panel.

Pricing can be automatically added to the artwork when a cover is created using GreenLight.

Book Info, which can be retrieved from a publisher's bibliographic database on creation of new files, is shown in the Book Info Panel on the pasteboard to the left of the first spread.

Book Info can also be amended by choosing GreenLight menu > Add / Amend Book Info.

Data in the Book Info Panel is live and can be amending directly in the panel or with the Add / Amend Book Info command.

If a discrepancy is later found between the artwork price and the info panel price, the pricing text frame is selcted and an alert is shown.

The pricing frame is selected on the page and the price difference is shown in a dialog

Fix the issue by altering the price in the artwork or the panel to pass this check.

Additional checks may compliment this check to ensure the Info Panel still matches the current Bibliographic data e.g. GreenLight info matches Biblio

Retrieving Biblio Edition ID

Data Checks
How to find a Biblio Edition ID number from BiblioSuite if needed

GreenLight can pull data from Bibliographic systems such as Biblio, Firebrand or ONIX to help create artwork and keep it in sync with production specs and sales requirements such as pricing.

When connecting to Virtusales BiblioSuite API GreenLight accesses this via an Edition ID which is linked to the ISBN.

If the Editon ID is not available to GreenLight then an alert is shown with an offer to go to BiblioSuite to quickly retrieve the Edition ID and continue.

GreenLight directs to BiblioSuite when an Edition number is not found

Choose Retrieve from Biblio to open a BiblioSuite page in your browser at the relevant Edition / General ISBN page.

Login to BiblioSuite if required, and make sure the page is the correct Edition / General page.

The Edition / General tab is selected in BiblioSuite

Copy the full URL from the browser address bar
