This repository contains a GUI framework for Tacton CPQ's Leadgen API and Customer Self-service API. Connect your LeadGen/CSS enabled Tacton CPQ environment with this interface to quickly get up to speed with your TCPQ omnichannels.

Tacton CPQ LeadGen and Customer Self Service GUI framework

This git repository contains an example GUI code and application communicating with Tacton CPQ LeadGen API and Customer Self-service API. It can be used as a starting template when creating an extranet with e-commerce functionality, e.g. in a Tacton CPQ project or demo. This GUI framework application requires a running Tacton CPQ instance, with LeadGen API and Customer Self-service feature licenses activated. Before start using this framework, you should be acquainted with the scope and functions of the Tacton CPQ LeadGen API and Customer Self-service API, which you find in the Help center of your Tacton CPQ instance.

This repository contains general images and text for running and debugging the application. Imagery and text messages should be tailored for your particular Tacton CPQ LeadGen/Customer Self-service project.

A developer should build executable jar file in "customerselfservice" project. A developer should prepare specific for the project configuration file, message file and images in separate folders. To deploy the application, a developer should copy jar file and specific files from separate project to destination folder. The destination folder must contain the following files and folders:

config.properties	the file contains specific application settings
customer-self-service.jar	the executable application file
messages.properties	the file contains specific application texts
products/	folder containing specific pictures for configurator
images/	folder containing specific pictures for the application

The "images/" folder must contain following pictures to display on main project landing page (see picture below).

• favicon.png - icon of the application visible in the browser
• header-logo.png
• center-main.jpg
• bottom-left-main.jpg
• bottom-center-main.jpg
• bottom-right-main.jpg

The "products/" folder is a place to store model specific images (product images and group images displayed in the configurator).

Separate LeadGen instance - only using the Leadgen API

This application can communicate with both Tacton CPQ LeadGen API as well as the Customer Self-service API. However, if your project wants to use LeadGen API only, this is also possible. It is possible to start LeadGen application separately from Customer Self service. In this case LeadGen is just HTML page with style sheets and Java Scripts.

To deploy LeadGen separately, copy content of the "src/main/resources/static" folder to your destination folder and adjust "leadgen.js" file. Use values from "config.properties" file and insert them to the "leadgen.js" file. Adjust the parameter "local_site_name" value to match your path to resources (destination folder).

Copy specific configuration images to "/products" folder. Copy your specific images to the "/images" folder.
The destination folder should contain following items:

style and Java Script folders	copy from src/main/resources/static source folder
leadgen.js	Lead Gen parameters file
leadgen.html	main Lead Gen HTML file
products/	folder containing specific pictures for configurator
images/	folder containing specific pictures for the application

To start LeadGen enter the URL in the browser: http://your_server/leadgen.html

Separate Customer Self Service instance - only using the Customer Self-service API

If your project only needs to communicate with the Customer Self service API, you can easily exclude the LeadGen part. To do so, simply remove link to LeadGen from main landing page. Just edit the "src/main/resources/templates/index.html" file and remove the button with link: "/configure". You can also tailor the page to your needs.
