Building Custom Catalogs in ECinteractive
By default, your ECinteractive® or is.D-Force2® site displays catalog content (product details and images) from your selected vendor. The standard catalog content drives the Browse catalog categories, the search Keyword relevance, item Attribute icons (such as recycled, dated goods, hazardous materials, minority produced), Search results, product long description, and item thumbnail and large image.
However, you may have a number of items in your back-end database that are not carried by these Web content providers.
Once you've added items and their product details into the Custom Product Management dashboard of your ECinteractive Admin Control Panel, you're ready to build the Custom Catalog. In this video, you'll learn how to map custom items to a custom catalog, and authorize a catalog to be synchronized overnight for use with your enhanced content provider (ECP). This video, part 2 of 3, shows you how.
