ClassifiedDesigner, a software for classified advertisement pagination. ClassifiedDesigner can manage large class hierarchies as well as class headers and filler advertisements. The classified advertisements are sorted by classes, dragged and dropped into the map. There are two Classified Volume views which allow quick and easy page arrangement.

An Assembling Area helps to design the final layout of a classified advertisement page.

dropped into the page.
The Finished pages can be mirrored vertically or horizontally. Advertisements can be sorted by size or their name. There are various display options that are available in ClassifiedDesigner, Example an option, colour codes the advertisements to show their booking status or their class sections.
