System and method for creating multi-formatted documents via an online portal

摘要

An on-line portal enables users in multiple locations to concurrently create varied marketing campaign materials by way of singular proxy templates. The user selects a promotion from predetermined approved location/client list. If the promotional document type contains a proxy template, the user may edit the proxy template, and link the proxy template to multiple documents such that edits to the proxy template are referenced by the linked documents and thus are concurrently built based on pre-approved rules governing the formats for the linked documents. The user is allowed to preview the documents for completeness and/or accuracy, and if acceptable may be placed into a shopping cart for checkout or order placement.
