4/29/02 - New Corelist & Specials format

Instead of having to decide which two corelists to make active in a customers account you can now choose all of them if you want. This page will help to explain our new ecat corelist and specials format.

*Use the image found below these instructions to help you identify the features and placement of certain items. The red #'s help you identify key areas, each red number is found in the image below.

Step 1
Go to Edit Profile in the ecat admin for a particular account.

Step 2
Choose the link titled Administrate Products Groups (#1) found in the options box in the upper left hand side of the profile page. This link will open up a separate Products Group window (#2)

Step 3
To activate a corelist or special you must choose a corelist and or a special from the respective drop down list (#3) & (#4)
Once you have located the list and or special you desire then hit the add corelist or add special button. This will add the selected item to the Product Groups list. To add more corelists and or specials to the Product Groups just repeat this step.

Step 4
Once you have the items added to the Products Groups list that you want you will now want to set the order of the Products Group list. Please note the item on top of the list, line 1 will be the start page for the account. The start page is the item that is displayed once someone logs into the account. If you have a special for example and you want that special to appear automatically upon your customers logging on you will need to put the special on line 1 at the top of the Product Group list. You can have a corelist as a start page as well just put the corelist you want to be the start page as the line 1 item. Items will be displayed in the e-cat in the exact order that you set in the Products Group list. If you need to move items up and down the Products Groups list you can do so by clicking the up and down buttons. You can also remove items by clicking the remove button found next to the up & down button.

Step 5
Once you have the items in the list you want and the order is correct you can click the close window button and then hit the Update button found at the bottom of the profile administration page just like you always have.
