Ordering front panels is done in Schaeffer AG’s webshop .

Front panel files can be loaded into the webshop either from a file directory or directly from Front Panel Designer.

Requirements for ordering front panels from Front Panel Designer:

  • Make sure that under Settings > Interface the checkmark is set next to the option Use webshop instead of offline ordering program to place an order. If you have set up a user account in the webshop, you can also enter the e-mail address and password with which you are registered in the webshop.

If an encrypted HTTPS connection cannot be established on your system, please uncheck the box next to Realize webshop communication via a secure HTTPS connection. You will then initially enter the webshop as a guest, with the option to log in later.

  • To place an order or request a quote, you do not need to be registered in the webshop. However, if you want to use the webshop to its full extent (for example, archiving front panel files or storing address and payment information), you will need a user account.

  • A direct Internet connection is required to upload front panels directly from Front Panel Designer. If you access the Internet via a proxy server, first call the webshop and then upload the front panel files in the browser.

Opening the webshop from Front Panel Designer:

  • Open the webshop in the browser: Opens the webshop’s homepage. If you are already a registered webshop customer and have entered your email address and password in the Front Panel Designer (as mentioned above), you will be automatically logged in when entering the webshops. If not, enter the webshops anonymously first and later have the option to log in, register, or place your order as a guest.

  • Order current front panel: When you open the webshop, the currently displayed front panel file is loaded directly into your front panel archive in the webshop.

  • Order all open front panels: When you open the webshop, all currently opened front panel files are loaded directly into your front panel archive in the webshop.
