However, creating product or technical sheets that are both <strong>comprehensive and visually appealing<\/strong> requires special attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, there are solutions you can rely on. Thanks to<strong> automated layout in InDesign<\/strong>, it is possible to save time and avoid errors. Creating product \/ technical sheets then becomes <strong>far less complex<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.interactiv-technologies.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/undraw_Memory_storage_reh0-2.png\" alt=\"Create automatically product sheets \/ technical sheets with plugin EasyCatalog in InDesign\" title=\"undraw_Memory_storage_reh0 (2)\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-a54e0cfc wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.interactiv-technologies.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/undraw_attached_file_re_0n9b-2-1-1.png\" alt=\"Make creation of product\/ technical sheets easier\" title=\"undraw_attached_file_re_0n9b (2) (1)\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I make creating my product sheets \/ technical data sheets easier?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, graphic designers use the <strong>same approach<\/strong>. First, they create and set up the layouts for product \/ technical sheets. Then, they <strong>manually copy and paste<\/strong> product data into each individual sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this method is <strong>not well-suited<\/strong> for generating <strong>a large number <\/strong>of product \/ technical sheets. For designers, this task quickly becomes <strong>repetitive<\/strong>; proofreading takes a great deal of time, and copy-paste <strong>errors<\/strong> can easily slip into each product sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What if this manual work could be replaced with an<strong> automated process<\/strong>? Automated layout in<strong> InDesign <\/strong>makes this possible\u2014in <strong>record time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-a54e0cfc wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the principle behind automating the layout of product \/ technical sheets?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is possible to add the <strong>EasyCatalog plug-in to InDesign<\/strong>. This module takes desktop publishing even further by <strong>automating the layout of documents<\/strong> (product sheets, catalogs, price lists, labels, directories, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EasyCatalog<\/strong> allows you to connect your data source\u2014such as an Excel file or a database (ERP, PIM, etc.)\u2014directly to your InDesign document. This <strong>synchronization automatically imports data into InDesign<\/strong> into what are known as \u201c<strong>product templates<\/strong>.\u201d In practical terms, these are blocks made up of several areas containing configured fields linked to specific data. Once the data is connected to the appropriate template, the layout of product \/ technical sheets can be <strong>fully automated<\/strong>: product data automatically populates the designated fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, you can generate <strong>dozens or even hundreds of product \/ technical sheets<\/strong> in just moments. Moreover, any changes made to the data in InDesign can be reflected in the original data source\u2014and vice versa\u2014since the link between InDesign and your data source is <strong>bidirectional<\/strong>. This ensures <strong>consistency and synchronization<\/strong> of your information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fc4fd283 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.interactiv-technologies.com\/en\/automated-layout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">To learn more about EasyCatalog <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.interactiv-technologies.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/undraw_File_bundle_re_6q1e-1.png\" alt=\"centralize data\" title=\"undraw_File_bundle_re_6q1e\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-a54e0cfc wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.interactiv-technologies.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/05\/undraw_Next_tasks_re_5eyy-removebg-preview.png\" alt=\"PIM Canaux de diffusion\" title=\"undraw_Next_tasks_re_5eyy-removebg-preview\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why automate the generation of my product \/ technical sheets?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Automated layout offers several <strong>advantages<\/strong>.
