This utility can be used to control what items are displayed and
accessible on the Portal website pertaining to Divisions,
Product Classes, Groups, and Products.
Product pictures can be displayed on the website for groups and
products, by capturing images and providing the file mapping and
name information.
The prompts include:
Select Class to generate a list of Product Classes with
the associated Website status.
The Image column does not apply to classes.
Select Group to generate a list of Product Groups with
the associated Website status.
Note: Because equipment rentals are always booked by Group, rather
than by product, this may require that the Groups be quite specific.
Select Product to generate a list of products with the
associated Website status.
Note: Though specific rental products can be reviewed in the
Portal inquiry options, rental equipment can only be added
to the Shopping Cart at the Group level.
Additional filters are provided to narrow down the product list
display as follows:
Divisions, Classes, and Groups are listed in numeric order.
Products can be sorted by description or number order.
Type N or select No to prevent the division,
class, group or product from being accessible on the Portal
website.
This specific flag over-rides the default in the Global Portal Settings.
Type Y or select Yes to cause the division, class,
group or product to be accessible on the Portal website.
This specific flag over-rides the default in the Global Portal Settings.
If a product picture for this Group or product should be
displayed on the Portal website, enter the file name with
the appropriate mapping.
Image files with "jpg" or with "gif" extensions can be used.
i.e. /images/scislift.jpg
Note: If the Image File Directory has been entered in the
Web Appearance Settings of Presentation
Themes then only the image file name needs to be entered here,
and the path directories can be omitted.
i.e. scislift.jpg
ACTIONS:
Additional actions provided by buttons on
the Inventory/Division Settings screen include:
Flag all Records to NOT Show On Web:
Click CLEAR ALL to flag each record displayed on the
screen NOT to be shown on the Portal website.
Flags for individual items can then be changed as required.
Include a Link to a Supplier's Website:
This button is only enabled when Groups are being displayed, and
does not apply to Sales Groups.
Click EXP/CON to expand the product details, to
access the Specification URL field to capture the website
link for the vendor.
Type in the optional preferred URL link to access the vendor's
product specification information.
When the Rental Group is visible on your company's Portal
website, the associated URL can be used to established a direct
link to a vendor's website to display the product
Specification information.
This is a convenient method of keeping your equipment specs current
with the vendor's, without requiring constant updating of your own
company Group information.
