Component Tech Packs

Updated over a year ago

Backbone Component Tech Packs are PDF exports of the data in the Component Record. Once generated, your Tech Packs are stored in the Tech Pack tab of the Component Record, and you’re able to download or email them out to your partners directly from there.

Creating Component Tech Packs

  • There are 3 options to generate new Tech Packs in a few different locations:

    • Top right of the Component Summary Tab

    • Bottom Right of the Component t Tech Pack Tab

    • Via the 3-dot Overflow Menu for each Product in the Product Library

  • Regardless of where you initially generate the Tech Pack, it is subsequently managed in the Product Tech Pack Tab

  • The same pop-up Creation Modal appears no matter where you initiate your tech pack; this is where you specify the included content

  • On the first page of the Creation Modal, assign your Tech Pack Name and choose which sections to include

    • The Default Tech Pack Name will be your Code and Component Name, overwrite with another Name if desired

    • Below the Name field, all sections of your Component Record are listed

      • Additional subsections appear within the Feedback & Revisions sections depending on how many Feedback & Revisions you’ve added to the Component

      • Uncheck checkboxes to exclude any section(s) from your Tech Pack

      • Reorder your Tech Pack sections by clicking the 6 dot handles, then dragging-and-dropping
