Category details

On the Orders Setup page, (System Setup > Set up commerce web components > Store home) there are 6 columns:

■    Product type

■    ID

■    Product

■    SOW

■    FP

■    Actions

Column 1 (Product Type)

The red or blue dot in Column 1 (leftmost column) represent a product's status in the Public view database. Blue dots mean that the product was entered into iMIS as a normal product.

Public view allows administrators to offer master products. Master products will have a red dot in the leftmost column.

Column 2 (ID number)

Each product entered into the Public view database is assigned a unique identifier. These ID numbers assist in location in the product table. ID numbers are listed in Column 2.

Column 3 (Product)

The product title is located in Column 3.

Column 4 (SOW-Sell on Web)

Some administrators may not want a product to be available for sale online at the time of entry into the database. Column 4 offers three options concerning a product's viewing status:

■    Sell on Web

■    Show on Web

■    None

If an administrator clicks the icon in Column 4, these options will appear with “cancel” as a fourth choice.

Column 5 (FP-Featured Product)

Each category in Public view Store may have any number of Featured Products. A featured product will be highlighted on a category's main page.

Every product listed possesses a small yellow star icon. To make an item a featured product, click the Featured Product yellow star icon. (It should be dark gold, not light-yellow).

Note: Clicking the Featured Product icon is required for products in the Home Page category. If a product is in the Home Page category, clicking the Featured Product icon will place the product under the Home Page column on the Store Home page in Public view. Otherwise, the product will not appear on the web page.

Column 6 (Product Management Actions)

Actions has four icons.

■    Arrow Up moves the item up the list. (The up and down arrows will determine the order in which items are viewed by users.)

■    Arrow Down moves the item down the list.

■    Edit allows an administrator to edit the product. Clicking edit takes an administrator to a page where detailed information about the product can be modified.

■    Delete removes a product from the category's list. This will not delete the item as it appears in Public view Orders.
