Changing the Category Descriptions:

 

Path, from the left navigation menu: ['Customization' section] > Category Descriptions

 

Your Partner System site has many thousands of titles upon it and, as such, it is essential that there be some kind of logical structuring and categorization of products since this will enable customers to navigate the content on the site and quickly find the title they are interested in purchasing.

 

To afford you complete control over this navigation experience, you are able to edit the category names and descriptions to suit your site's focus, if required.

 

To load the Category Descriptions page, in order to change the category titles, you need to select the link entitled "Category Descriptions" under the Customization section of the left navigation menu, as shown here:

Within the screen that loads, you have two elements which you can edit, namely the category name and the category description. We shall look into these two elements in more detail below:

 

Category Name

 

To change the category name you simply need to change the text within the 'Category Name' text box.

 

The WYSIWYG Editor

 

To make editing your HTML as easy and intuitive as possible, this page includes a 'what you see is what you get' HTML page editor for you to use - right off the page! This gives you a really simple view of exactly how your category description text will appear, without having to get into the HTML coding side of things.

This inbuilt HTML editor is designed to give you straightforward control over the layout of the description text for the category you're currently editing. The editor is designed to be intuitive to anyone who is familiar with standard word processing editing options, but for those who are not, you can access a special help page based entirely on the features of the editor window, by visiting the section of this manual entitled: "WYSIWYG Editor".

 

 

Saving and Canceling your Category Descriptions changes

 

There are two buttons at the bottom of the screen from which you can rename a category or subcategory. Their functions are as follows:

 

"Cancel" Button: This button allows you to return to the Category Descriptions screen without saving any changes you may have just made to a specific category or subcategory. If, for example, you change your mind, you can abandon your proposed changes by clicking the "Cancel" button. Only clicking the "Save Changes" button (details of which are below) will you commit your changes.

 

"Save Changes" Button: This button saves any changes you might have made to the category descriptions.
