Add/Remove/Update Catalog Items

After you have logged on to this page, you can browse your normal storefront and on the product detail page there is a "to Edit" link to edit any existing item.

Find Product: Enter Product Reference in first text box (sometimes called Reference No, Product Code, or whatever appropriate name for the business). Then click on the button to find the first match in the catalog database.

Note: The Product Reference must be prefixed by your [account number] followed by colon ":".

If you are not sure, you can always use the more advanced  Search By Keywords to find the product(s) you want to edit.

Add New | Update: You may add new item (i.e. product) or modify the exiting information by filling in the various text boxes on page. Each text box corresponds to a field in the underlying catalog table.  Thus they may vary for different applications. Click on the button to submit the information to the database. CyberBuild will automatically build or update the appropriate keyword indexes and other things to reflect the changes.

Delete Item: Click on this button to delete permanently the selected item, together with keyword indexes to the item from the catalog database. Use with extreme certainty.

Search Existing Items by Keywords

This page helps you find the appropriate product(s) by keywords on any of the searchable fields in the catalog database.

There are three elements on the form:

Search Field

Select any of the Search Field to conduct the keyword search. These fields are configured on the catalog database to be searchable thus appropriate keyword indexes have been built for them. The last option is "All Fields".

Keywords

Enter any keywords, in any order, separated by {SPACE}. The order of the keywords are irrelevant. For example "Find Me" is equivalent to "Me Find".

Search

Click on this button to submit the search. Results might be separated into multiple pages which you can navigate on the bottom of each page.

After you identify the product, simply click on the Reference (i.e. the Reference No, Part Number, or whatever you call it) on the first column to go back to the Merchant Upload page.

Special Fields & Functions

Weight, Dimension: These values will be passed to shopping cart for real-time UPS rate and service quote.

Product URL: Specify a valid URL (starting with "http://...") that can provide further information on the item, such as the product page on the manufacturer's site.

UNSPSC: (United Nations Standard Products and Services Code) This field is passed to shopping cart for the convenience of finding the stock (as classification or a reference to the stock).

Style, Color, Size: These fields will appear as optional drop-down boxes on the storefront's product detail page.

Related Items: Specify the product IDs (or References or Part Numbers) that are related to this item. The information will be displayed on the product detail page, with product descriptions extracted from the database.

Package Price, Package Qty: Typically used in B2B application when if the item is sold in its original packaged form, there is a discount on the price.

Order Link: Specify a valid URL to order this item, presumably from a page outside the storefront. Typically used in a Trading Mall application (when such an action is allowed).

Taxable: Either Yes or No. If No, the State, Country or GST Tax will not be applied to this item on the checkout.

Times: A counter which records how many times the item is exposed on the storefront.

Auction & Classifieds

A particular item will appear on the storefront as an auction item if Auction Bid Increment field is specified and is greater than 0.

Start Date, End Date: This imposes a specific date range when the item should appear on the storefront.

Reserve: This specifies the Reserve price on the item. Or you can specify a negative value to indicate that the item is not for sale at all. Typically it is done so for a classified item which can't be brought. As a result, the "Buy" or "Bid" button will not appear on the storefront.

Auction Start Bid, Auction Bid Increment: The start bid is optional. But Bid Increment is essential to trigger the auction function on the item.

Delivery Control

The customer can specify a delivery or service date/time on the shopping cart page if such a function is applicable to certain items. This is triggered through the Delivery Mode setting.

Delivery Mode: This field can be left empty, or can take three values 0, 1, -1. "0" is same as empty, meaning that a delivery date/time is not applicable. "1" indicates that the item can be scheduled, but each one takes a single time slot (though the order quantity can be > 1). Typically, this is a service item.  "-1" means that the different items (of the same value) can be delivered on a same time slot. For example grocery products.

More information can be found on Delivery / Service Schedule.

Inventory Monitoring

Stock Level The current stock level on the item.

Warning Level: A particular stock level under which a warning will be attached to the order notification email to the merchant.

Minimum Level: A minimum stock quantity below which the item cannot be ordered. Note that it can be negative, which means the item can be back ordered.
