Design Options

There are two display options for the Web Categories on your e-commerce site:

Standard Design - Clicking on a Web Category on the left side of the screen will list all of the Sub Categories below it. Clicking on a Sub Category will either display a list of the Sub Category 2 options below it, or display the products listed in that Sub Category. An example of this display is shown below.

Web Category Image Design - Clicking on a Web Category on the left side of the screen will display all of the Sub Categories in the area to the right, with an image assigned to each Sub Category. Clicking on a Sub Category will either display the Sub Category 2 options in the same format, or display the products listed in that Sub Category. An example is shown below.

This design option does require images to be set up for each Sub Category and Sub Category 2. Images that you want to use should be saved in the same folder as the images used for your products. You can find this folder in your Company Master, in the Default Image Storage Network Path field under the Images / Signatures / eDocs / Connections tab. We recommend that Sub Category images be no larger than 220 x 220 pixels. The Napkin example shown above is sized 100 x 100 pixels.

Assign an image to a Sub Category in the Web Category screen (File > Product > Web Category). Pull up the Web Category and click the Edit button in the bottom toolbar. Double-click in the Image field for the Sub Category and type in the file name of the image, including the file extension. An example is shown below.

Enter an image for each of the Sub Categories and for any Sub Category 2 options as well. Any Sub Categories or Sub Category 2's that do not have an image assigned to them will display "No Image Available" above the category name. When you have entered all of the necessary images, click the Save button in the bottom toolbar to save your changes.

Once you have entered images for your Sub Category and Sub Category 2 entries, go to File > Company > Inform e-Commerce. Check off the Use Web Category Images checkbox and click the Save button in the bottom right corner. This will change your display to use the images.
