Brand
Your logos, colours, wording, pictures and documents in one library: approved before use, rights with their end day, downloads in your sizes with each recorded, where each is used, and your letterhead.
Getting started
These are the steps in the order somebody would do them. The same list is in the tool: press F1, or the control reading "How this works" at the top of the window.
1. Press New asset and add its file
Name it, say what kind it is, tag it and put it in a collection. Add its file as version 1; a new file later is version 2, and every earlier version is kept.
2. Approve a version before anybody uses it
A person who manages the brand approves the newest version. Until then Marketing, Commerce and your letterhead keep using the version approved before, and a new version never inherits an approval.
3. Record the rights and when they end
Who holds them, the licence and its document, and the last day it covers. From the day after, nothing in Keyway offers the asset for a new post or product.
4. Keep the kit beside the files
Colours with their values, typefaces by role, the tone of voice and the wording to use and to avoid, and the logo's clear space.
5. Set the letterhead once
Your name, address and mark as every quote, invoice and document prints them. A document already sent keeps the mark it was sent with.
The screens, and what to do first on each
Each of these opens with nothing on it on a new install. What the tool says on that screen is what this section says, because it is the same sentence.
No assets yet
An asset is one logo, picture, video or document your business uses, with every version of its file.
First thing to do: Press New asset, name it, then add its file.
The kit is empty
Your colours with their values, your typefaces, your tone of voice, the wording to use and to avoid, and the logo's rules.
First thing to do: Press Add to the kit and start with your main colour.
Your letterhead states nothing yet
Every quote, invoice and document a tool prints carries this name, address and mark.
First thing to do: Type your trading name and address and press Save.
Nothing has been downloaded
Each download is recorded with who took which version, in which size, when and what for.
First thing to do: Type the sizes your channels need and press Save sizes.
