Editing Item

There are several ways to get to Item edit page:  

Click on the 'Edit' button next to the name of the item on the overview of items (choose items database from the content tabs menu)



Click on the 'Edit' button on the detail page of the item (choose the item from the taxonomy tree or click on the item name on the overview of items)





The following can be changed on the edit page of an item:

  • Name of item
  • Status of item (there are four options in the status dropdown list to choose from) :
      - New - indicates that an item is currently being created, so till it is approved, it will not be available for publishing        
      - Active - indicates that an item is available for publishing
      - Not active - indicates that an item is not avalaible for publishing
      - Translate - indicates that an item needs to be translated, and so it is not avalaible for publishing
  • Values of properties of item.

    Types of properties depends on agreement you have made with Content Forces (for example check boxes, value lists).

Note, that some properties can be edited on the item level and some on the item variant level.  Input on which properties (specifications) are related to items and which are related to item variants should be delivered by the client before the starting process of Item Management implementation.



You can see two icons located in the Value field of Properties:

  • IV (Item Variant), which indicates that this property is assigned only to Item Variants. The value of this property may be changed only when editing Item Variants
  • M (Multilingual), which indicates that the visible value of property will be the same in every language. For example sizes of T-shirts (such as S, M, L) will be the samein every language.

When all changes are approved click the 'Save' button to save changes. Otherwise click  'Cancel' to discard changes.
Both buttons are located on the top-right at the main view.
