Album — A named set of assets a person keeps under My Albums. Sharing an album is live: recipients see assets added later.

Asset — One file in the library with its metadata, versions, audience and history: a photo, video, document or vector file.

Asset status — Where an asset is in its life: Approved, To Be Reviewed, Not Posted, Delete, Retired or Archived. Only Approved assets are shown to audiences that require approval.

Audience — Who an asset is visible to: groups and people named by @mention, or @all for everyone in the organization. Set at upload and changeable afterwards by roles that may.

Category — An item in the DAM sidebar: a built-in one such as Recent or People, one your administrator defined in the Taxonomy, or a search you saved.

Connector key — The credential an online store presents to send print orders to a Picsha Lab. Issued and revoked in the Lab under Settings, Lab Connector.

Destination — Where a product prints: a Windows print queue on a print server, or a minilab hot folder.

Fulfiller — A lab technician or workstation an order can be assigned to.

Group — An office, committee or team. Used as an audience (@mention) and, when marked as a checkout account, as the office an order is billed to.

Print server — Picsha Print Server, the program on a Windows PC that receives jobs from Picsha Lab and prints them on its queues or writes them to hot folders.

Product — Something people can order: a print size, a document print, a gift item. A product routed to a destination prints; an unrouted one waits.
