• There is a limit to the number of characters the Name and Credentials field will accommodate.
• The "Additional Credentials" field will appear on the second line under the "Name and Credentials" field.

• Location selection will auto-populate the correct address, building name, city, state and zip code. It will not populate the suite (room) number. You will need to manually enter alpha/numeric characters in the "Suite Number" field.

Step Six: Preview and Preview PDF

• You must preview your completed card prior to selecting the quantity or moving on to the next step.
• The preview of your input will appear in the business card image to the right of the template input fields.
• The image you see in this preview is exactly how the finished card will print.
• If you make changes to the text in the template, you will need to preview again before you will be permitted to continue.
• When you are satisfied that the information on the card is correct, click "Update History" to save the record.
• "Preview PDF" allows for a save file option.
• You can save this file for your records and/or send it to the recipient for review prior to submitting the order.
• Please note: you must disable the popup blocker or allow popups, depending on your browser, to use this feature.

Step Seven: Select Quantity

  • Select 1: 250 Cards for $29.20

• Your selection will send the order to your shopping cart.
• You will see red text at the top right of the screen indicating the number of items in your shopping cart.
• Your screen will revert to the template selections screen.
• If you have more cards to order for the same cost center, choose the template and repeat the steps above.
• Some users have multiple Cost Centers. If you have orders for another Cost Center, complete the order for the current Cost Center; then, return to the template selection screen to begin your order(s) for the next Cost Center. Follow the steps you have just completed for the new Cost Center.

Step Eight: Shipping Info

• The ship method default is "My Cost Center."
• This selection will show the delivery address for this order.

• "View Cart" to review all business cards for accuracy and completeness.
• If errors are found, you can delete an individual order(s) by selecting the box and clicking red "x" at the top right of the order information block.
• You also have the option to edit text at this point; you must re-enter data for faculty or staff member (if saved, use "History Lookup" to auto populate all fields), make corrections and "Update History" to save your revisions.
• Checkout displays a summary of your order(s).

Step Ten: Order Remarks

Please use the "Order Remarks" section for special instructions, comments and custom orders. No orders will be sent to private addresses.

• Submitting your order will send you to a screen that will allow you to save and/or print your final order.
• You will receive an email confirming that the order was received by the system.

Verifiers

• Once a completed order is submitted, an email is sent to the verifier announcing that there is an order waiting for verification.
• Verifiers have two options in the email:
  
  • "View Order Confirmation" to display the order detail
  • "Log In to Approve" to access the "Order Approval" screen
• Either option provides the verifier the opportunity to review all the details of the order for accuracy and completeness.
• The verifier has the option to accept or reject each individual order by checking the appropriate box to the left of the order detail, providing a comment in the notes section, and submitting a verifier response.
• Approval by the verifier initiates the payment process; credit cards are charged after delivery.
• Reports and Pending Orders: Pending orders are located under the "Reports" tab, "Order Tracking." This feature is unique to verifiers; therefore, it only appears on the verifier's report list. Verifiers may use this as an alternate method of reviewing and approving pending orders.

Custom Orders

• Any deviation from the approved template (such as logos other than the TMCC logo, web addresses, instructions for students, etc.), are considered custom items and can be added to the back of the business card only.
• Custom requests, such as adding something to the back of business cards, result in an additional cost to the department; contact the vendor directly for pricing and processing instructions. Custom requests are not allowed to the front of the card.
• Example of pricing to add a custom item to back print:
  
  • one color, black: $8 for 250 or $10 for 500 (check with vendor for current charges)
  • plus, one-time art preparation charge of $18.75 (check with vendor for current charges)
• After confirmation of custom order setup and pricing is established, information is then entered in the "Order Remarks" box on the checkout screen.
• Prior to sending the order to print, an email proof is provided.

Delivery

• All orders ship to the TMCC Mail Services mailroom and are delivered via intercampus mail to the user who placed the order. The user verifies receipt and distributes to recipients.
