A networked system for enabling geographically-spaced common-brand users
to publish locale-specific, content-controlled messages is provided. The
networked system comprises an online publishing portal providing
selective access to pre-constructed, digital, plate-ready macrotemplates.
A dynamic document server stores the macrotemplates and authorizes
selective access thereto based upon user-supplied credentials. The user,
having authenticated credentials, may access a select macrotemplate,
which necessarily comprises a plurality of digital, plate-ready
microtemplates, including at least one restricted access template and at
least one open access template. Authorized users may edit a select
microtemplate as dictated by the user's level of authorization. The user
may thus send the content-controlled digital, plate-ready file to a
publisher for publishing information or messages compiled upon the
macrotemplate. The system thereby enables geographically-spaced
common-brand users to publish locale-specific, content-controlled
messages.
