This article assumes the reader is familiar with the [Brand Themes](https://learn.assette.com/docs/brand-themes-overview/) and [Data Blocks](https://learn.assette.com/docs/data-objects-editor-overview/).* Assette’s dynamic Brand Themes make it easier to apply the right design to your documents without extra steps. By setting up a connection between products and their corresponding themes in the Developer Center, the system ensures that the correct Brand Theme is applied automatically when generating a document. This means layouts, tables, and charts are styled to match the selected theme, creating a consistent and professional look every time. The connection is built using data blocks that map specific products to their Brand Themes. When a document is generated for a product, the system references this mapping and applies the right theme automatically. For cases where **multiple products** are generated at the same time, users can select a Brand Theme manually from a dropdown to ensure everything stays uniform. This approach combines automation and flexibility, helping teams create polished, branded documents with ease. ### Data Block: Connecting Products to Themes The first data block establishes a connection between the product code and the appropriate Brand Theme: ![Dynamic Brand Themes 1](https://learn.assette.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/image-37-1024x495.png) ``` Product="" if(params.__len__()>0): Product = params.get("ProductCode") or "" BrandThemes = read("BrandThemeExtract", {}) BrandThemes = BrandThemes.get("data") or [] MatchingBrandTheme = {} BrandThemeName = "" if len(BrandThemes)>0: for BrandTheme in BrandThemes: if (BrandTheme.get("Product") or "") != "": if (BrandTheme.get("Product") or "")==Product: MatchingBrandTheme = BrandTheme break if len(MatchingBrandTheme)>0: BrandThemeName = MatchingBrandTheme.get("BrandThemeName") or "" response["text"] = BrandThemeName ``` - The code starts by retrieving the `ProductCode` from the generation parameters. - It reads a data extract (`BrandThemeExtract`) containing multiple Brand Theme definitions, including their corresponding products. - The code iterates through the `BrandThemes` list to find a **matching product**. - Once a match is found, the code retrieves the `BrandThemeName` and assigns it as the response text. - This ensures that each product is automatically associated with its predefined Brand Theme. The user does not need to manually select a theme at the generation stage because the system dynamically maps the product to its specific theme based on this preconfigured code. ### Content Data Block: Brand Theme and Product Mapping The second block, shown in the screenshot, provides the data mapping between Brand Themes and products: ![Dynamic Brand Themes 2](https://learn.assette.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/image-38-1024x497.png) ``` [ { "Strategy": "", "Product": "", "Purpose": "" }, { "BrandThemeName": "Dynamic Brand Theme 1.pptx", "AccountCode": "", "Strategy": "USLCGE", "Product": "USLCGESWA", "Purpose": "" }, { "BrandThemeName": "Dynamic Brand Theme 2.pptx", "AccountCode": "", "Strategy": "GYVE", "Product": "GVESWA", "Purpose": "" } ] ``` 1. The JSON data block defines **BrandThemeName** and maps them to specific product codes (`Product`) and strategies. 2. This structured mapping ensures that when a product is selected during document generation, the corresponding Brand Theme is applied automatically. For example: - If the product code `USLCGESMA` is selected, the theme `Dynamic Brand Theme 1.pptx` will apply. - If the product code `GVESMA` is selected, the theme `Dynamic Brand Theme 2.pptx` will apply. This automatic assignment happens because the Developer Center code references this structured mapping. ### Generation Overlay To generate a Smart Doc with the desired Brand Theme, users begin by selecting a document from the content library. Once the document is selected, the user clicks the plus icon to start generating the Smart Doc. A popup will appear on the right, prompting the user to continue with the selection. ![Dynamic Brand Themes 3](https://learn.assette.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-17-155443-1024x493.jpg) When the user selects the appropriate output settings, such as the *As of Date*, *Language*, and the relevant *Product*, the Smart Doc will automatically generate using the Brand Theme defined through the mapping block. Here, the user does not need to select any options from the Brand Themes dropdown. ![Dynamic Brand Themes 4](https://learn.assette.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-17-164317-1024x493.jpg) ### Multiple Product Generation and Manual Selection When generating outputs for **multiple products** (as shown in the third screenshot), the dropdown for Brand Themes must be used. This is because: 1. The Developer Center’s pre-mapped code works for **one product at a time**. 2. In multi-product output generation, the system does not dynamically determine the theme for each product automatically. **User Action**: When “Generate multi-product output” is selected, users must **manually choose a Brand Theme** from the dropdown. This ensures all products in the output follow a single Brand Theme. ![Dynamic Brand Themes 5](https://learn.assette.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-17-164810-1024x494.jpg)
