This feature allows you to perform specific field changes on a selected group of products, or on all products in the store.

Quick Overview of Steps Required:

First, use the Department, Category, and Sub-Category selection options to display a list of products from which to choose from.

Second, use the Product Selection List that is created as a result of your selections to choose which products you would like to edit. Products to be edited are selected by clicking on them - multiple selections are allowed.

Third, once you have selected the products you wish to edit, choose which fields you want to edit by selecting them in the Field Selection List. Fields are selected by clicking on them - multiple selections are allowed.

Fourth, decide how you want the updates to be applied by selecting the appropriate "type" of Power Edit.

If you select Individual, then multiple edit screens will appear (once for each selected product) that will allow you to make the desired field changes for each product selected.

If you select Global, then a single edit screen will appear that will allow you to make a fields changes that will be applied to all selected products equally.

Finally, when you have completed making all your selections, click the EDIT PRODUCTS button to continue.

How to Display Products:
To display a list of products, first choose a department using the first drop down list provided and then click the SELECT DEPARTMENT button. The store will then show you a list of categories assigned to that department.

Next, select one of the categories in the second drop-down list and click the SELECT CATEGORY button. This tells the store to display the assigned sub-categories for the selected department and category.

Finally, select one of the sub-categories in the third drop-down list and click the SELECT SUB-CATEGORY button to see the products assigned to that section of the store.

NOTE: if the store does NOT display a category drop down list when you change departments, it means the selected department is assigned to a single product or a list of products (and not to a category).

NOTE: Likewise, if the store does NOT display a sub-category drop down list when you change categories, it means the selected category is assigned to a single product or a list of products (and not to a sub-category).

NO SELECT DEPARTMENT BUTTON: if the store fails to display a SELECT DEPARTMENT button or a department drop down list, it means that NONE of your departments are linked to a list of categories, to a list of products, or to a single product.

NO SELECT CATEGORY BUTTON: if the store fails to display a SELECT CATEGORY button or a category drop down list, it means that NONE of the categories (in the selected department) are linked to a list of sub-categories, to a list of products, or to a single product.

NO SELECT SUB-CATEGORY BUTTON: if the store fails to display a SELECT SUB-CATEGORY button or a sub-category drop down list, it means that NONE of the sub-categories (in the selected department and category) are linked to a list of products or to a single product.

Display All Products Button:
Instead of using the selection methods just described above, you may also click on this button to have ALL PRODUCTS in your store displayed for selection. CAUTION - if you have a lot of products in your store, this will cause the selection list to be very large, and it will take a minute or two for the store to create the list and redisplay this page.

Product Selection List:
This list shows a list of available products to choose from based on the selection criteria used above. Use this list to click on the products you wish to edit. Multiple selections can be made by holding down the CTRL key while clicking on products. Also, a range of selections can be made by holding down the ALT key while clicking on products.

Field Selection List:
This list shows a list of editable fields to choose from. Use this list to click on the fields you wish to edit for the selected products. Multiple selections can be made by holding down the CTRL key while clicking on fields. Also, a range of selections can be made by holding down the ALT key while clicking on fields.

EDIT PRODUCTS Button:
Once you have your products and fields selected, click this button. A new screen will appear that will allow you to change the selected field information for the products chosen.

Adjusting Price by Flat Amount or Percentage:
The price adjustment fields (when selected for Power Edit) allow you to increase or decrease the product's normal price and/or sale price. The adjustment can be done by a flat amount or by a percentage.
