SPECTRUM ID
For each object, an individual 6-digit code, the SPECTRUM ID, is stored. With this ID, the object can be called up again and again. To do this, click on the "Copy link" button. The SPECTRUM ID with the corresponding link will be copied to your clipboard. Now you can paste this link with "Ctrl + V" e.g. into an e-mail and send it.
 
If you are logged in to the cloud, appears an extra field. Here you can enter an email address to send the link to this email address.
 
With the SPECTRUM_ID, the saved image can also be opened in other Caparol applications, e.g. in the SPECTRUM_mobile APP.

This area is only accessible to you, so you must first log in to the cloud. If you already have a Caparol account, use these access data. Your designs are stored in the cloud, you can access them at any time. In addition, the designs can be opened and further edited with the SPECTRUM - full version.
