HELP

This section is used to define up to 1,000 departments that you wish to be defined for your store.

This Page: the web page you are currently looking at shows you a list of all of the departments currently defined for your store. You are allowed to setup up to 1,000 different departments. A department must be setup in this section before you are allowed to assign categories or products to it.

Each department "record" is shown below on its own line, and the entire list of departments is shown in order by the list position you entered. If the list is empty, it means you have not defined any departments.

NOTE: if a department has been temporarily disabled, its name will be shown in BOLD RED. To change the active/disabled setting for a department, click the EDIT button for the department.

To add a new department to the list, click on the ADD NEW button. If the ADD NEW button does not appear on the page, it means you have already setup the maximum number of departments allowed (1,000).

To change an existing department, click the EDIT button shown to the right of the department's information. NOTE: each department listed has its own EDIT button.

To delete an existing department, click the DELETE button shown to the right of the department's information. NOTE: if you delete a department, the store will also delete any categories, sub-categories, and products assigned to this department as well!

Viewing: for certain types of departments, a VIEW button will appear next to the EDIT and DELETE buttons. Clicking on the VIEW button will allow you to display what the department will look like when it is shown to your customers. This feature is not available for departments that link to a "Static Web Page" or that are defined as a "Section Title".

IMPORTANT: while this option will display the department's web page, some items or links on the page may not function properly if you have NOT finished building your entire store.

Thumbnail Image: if you uploaded and assigned a thumbnail image for a department, it will be shown next to the department's name. The store will automatically resize the image to display properly within the selection list. The store will NOT resize the image when it is displayed on your store pages.
