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
