You can define categories for how you want to group inventory items, and who can view these categories. Items must be assigned to categories in order for the items to appear on the Products and Services Web page.

Note  Inventory items can be assigned to more than one category.

 

To set up categories

  1. Select eBusiness Manager Setup Menu > Category Maintenance.

  2. Enter the Category Code field. In the Description field, enter a short description for the category code to display on the Internet. For more information, see Category Maintenance – Fields.

  3. In the Category Type field, select whether .order customers or .store customers will be able to view this category. If you select Both, both your .order customers and your .store customers can view the category on your Web site.

  4. Select the Top Category check box if the category is a top-level category. A top-level category is the top level or first access point for a group of categories on the category tree view panel on the Products and Services Web page. Define at least one top-level category.

  5. In the Image field, select an image to attach to the category (optional). Image files are stored in the MAS90\Images\xxx folder (where xxx is the company code) on the Application Server and are published to the IIS. For more information, see Publish Files to the Internet.

Warning  When .bmp files are used on a Web page, performance is extremely slow. Use .jpg or .gif files for faster performance.

  1. In the Short Description and/or Long Description boxes, enter text to display with the category description on the Web page. You can include HTML markup in the long description.

The category is set up. Use Category Tree Maintenance to build a tree structure that defines how categories appear on the Products and Services Web page. For more information, see Category Tree Maintenance.
