Find your way around Home
Home, the column down the left and the Today page: where New job, Jobs, Presses, Materials and the press board are.
Home is where Studio opens after you sign in, and where Sign out brings you back. The first button on the bar, on every screen, is Home.
The bar and the column
Across the top: Home, File, Press, and your initials. The initials open the profile menu.
Down the left is the column, with your shop's name above it. Each entry opens what its name says. An entry you may not use is not there at all, rather than greyed out.
The column is in three groups: Today, Make and Set up.
| Group | Entry | What it opens |
|---|---|---|
| Today | Today | The day's page, described below |
| Today | Hand out | A supervisor gives jobs to named people |
| Today | All sites | The press board: what each press your press connector reports is doing |
| Make | New job | Starts a job |
| Make | Jobs | Your shop's saved jobs |
| Make | Templates | The shop's saved templates and shapes |
| Set up | People | A supervisor invites and removes people |
| Set up | Presses | Your presses |
| Set up | Materials | Your stock, with the Quick Set each rips with |
| Set up | Integrations | A supervisor's page for how your RIP is reached, including each press's hot folder |
| Set up | Learn | Short lessons |
At the foot of the column is your name and, for a supervisor, Admin console.
A supervisor sees all of it. A plain shop person has no People, no Hand out, no Integrations and no Admin console, and Materials opens to read, with a line saying it is the supervisor who keeps the list.
The menus on the bar

Today
Today is the page you land on. Top to bottom:
- New to Studio? A box that offers a tour. Not now puts it away. See Take the tour and use the lessons.
- Your work. The jobs that are yours, with the ones handed to you first and who gave them. Everyone's work is beside it: jobs nobody has yet, then who has each.
- The presses. A tile for each press with what it is doing, what is loaded and how many jobs are waiting to be brought down to it. All sites beside the heading opens the full press board.
- Start a job. Three buttons: By material, By product and From files. By material is the way described in Start a sticker sheet. By product opens a lookup of what the job goes on, such as a jar or a shirt, and then asks for the material. From files starts from artwork you already have. Start a new job shows only where the other two are missing.
Going back to a job
Going Home never puts the job you have open away. If there is a sheet in hand, Back to the job brings it back exactly as it was.
Units
in and mm, beside Undo at the top of a job, switch every length on the screen between inches and millimetres.
Two settings in the profile menu
- Open on Start a job, not Home makes Studio open on the first step of a new job instead. It is saved to your own account, so it follows you to any computer.
- Show the welcome card and Recent jobs on Today puts back the opening card, Your shop's Studio, on the website, with one line for each thing Studio does and a button that opens it.
