Adding Products / Editing Products

Adding Products:

The FORTUNE3 E-Commerce & Shopping Cart Wizard software features two ways of adding Products: Either add a product by entering the product information manually or by using the "Import Products from Spreadsheet" feature. To enter a product manually, select the "Product Category" target (on the category that you want to add the product to), then right-click on it and select "Add Product" or "Add Product with Options" (If your product has options such as sizes, colors, etc., then choose "Add Product with Options", otherwise if your product is a simple product without any options, choose "Add Product"). Proceed by filling in the corresponding entry-forms on the Product Properties screen (click for help). You may also right-click on the "Product List" panel to add a product, but a product created on the Product List will not appear in the tree or on the site until it is copied and pasted or dragged and dropped into a "Product Category" on the Tree.

Editing Products:

The FORTUNE3 E-Commerce & Shopping Cart Wizard software features 3 ways of modifying existing Products: By editing the product information manually, by using the "Import Products from Spreadsheet" feature (which will update all existing products), and by using the Bulk Changes tool. To edit a product manually, right-click on it and select "Properties (Edit)" or double-click on it with your mouse. Proceed to making your changes into the Product Properties screen (click for help).

The Product List:

The FORTUNE3 Shopping Cart & E-Commerce Wizard software features a linear product list. All of the products in Product Tree appear in the "Product List", but on this "linear" list, the products and categories are not related to each other. Furthermore, products that may have once existed on the Tree but have been deleted will remain in the "Product List" unless they are removed from the list manually (by right-clicking on it and clicking on "Delete"). This is in case you delete a product by accident, or delete a product and want to easily bring it back at a later time. Additionally, products that are imported from a spreadsheet but weren't imported into a category on the Tree will be listed on the "Product List" ONLY. You may easily drag and drop or copy and paste these products from the "Product List" into any category in the Tree in order to bring them back into your web store. You can display the list by clicking on "Show Product List" from the top bar. Drag the

Arrow icon to expand or shrink the "Product List" horizontally (to allow for more organizing space).

Use the "Product List" to quickly find a product, to get access to a product's data entry form, and to...

•	Sort products either by SKU, Name, or Color. The color determines whether the product is currently in the Tree (black), has been deleted from the Tree (red), or is newly imported from a spreadsheet but was not imported into a category (blue). Highlight items in the list by using the "Up" and "Down" arrow keys or by "pointing and clicking" with the mouse.
•	Search for products by SKU or Name. Quickly find your products to edit them.
•	Right-click on any item with your mouse and then click "Properties". The corresponding Product Properties becomes available for modifications.
•	Group several products in one selection. Use the "Shift" key for sequential groups and "Ctrl" key for non-sequential groups.
•	Drag and drop any selection from the Product List onto its appropriate category on the Product Tree. Preset the selection either as a "Product" or as a "Product with Options" by selecting the appropriate type from the choice below the list.
•	Copy and Paste selected products from the Product List into its appropriate category on the Tree. Right-click on the selection and choose "Copy". Select a "Product Category" target on the Tree, right-click on it and select "Paste".
•	Differentiate the products by action type: Products that are "current and available" in the Product Tree are listed with "black-type". Newly imported products that were not imported into a category are listed with "blue-type" (until being placed onto a category in the Product Tree). Products deleted from the Product Tree are listed with "red-type".

NOTE: Products deleted from the "Product List" window will also be deleted from the Product Tree and from the E-Commerce web site, online store and shopping cart. If a product is ONLY on the product list, it will not show up on the site.
