APPENDIX A
Set up your Brand in MagProd
The magplus.mags file is the resource that MagProd needs to create and identify MIBs. It is created and edited from Settings in MagProd and contains a unique identifier like this:
brand ID guid prefix
se.companyName.magplus.MagazineTitle.2011_01
country ID issue ID
To create a new .mags file for your brand, open MagProd and then File > Open brand settings editor. Then click New and fill in Brand ID (e.g., popphotothis becomes part of the file name of the MIBs generated by the tool), Brand description (e.g., Popular Photography magazine this is simply for your reference) and choose the latest MIB version. Click Save. You can now select this in the Brand dropdown menu on the main MagProd page. You can use the same Magplus.mags file for all issues under the same brand.
To edit an already created .mags file, open MAGProd and then go to Preferences. Click edit next to Local brand settings.
