The items on your website are organized into categories. Categories are automatically created when you use the feature to transfer information from your local system to your website. Since the only category field that can be imported is the category name, you may want to use this feature to add more information. Note that these changes will be erased the next time that you upload your item database unless you specify that category records are not to be overwritten. 

You get to this function by selecting the option Edit Categories on the EZ-Catalog main menu. This is accessed from the Construction Tools menu. To leave this option, press the Submit button.

You will initially see a display that shows all the categories on your site.  To add a category, click the button labeled Add Category. To delete or edit a category, select the Delete or Edit tag that is next to the item that you want to change or delete.

When you select the option to Add or Edit a category, you will see this display:

 

Name: Enter a category name of up to 40 characters.

Description: Enter a description of the category. This may be up to 1,000 characters. Note, however, that the display of this item does not 'wrap' the text and that you will need to code '<BR'> (an HTML code for a line break) every place that you want a new line. To keep the customer from having to scroll left and right while reading the page, you need to do this at least every 80 characters.

Header HTML: If you have HTML code that you want to display at the top of the page of this category, enter the name of the code block here (it must have been previously uploaded).

Footer HTML: If you have HTML code that you want to display at the bottom of the page of this category, enter the name of the code block here (it must have been previously uploaded).

Order Button Stock: If you want to specify a custom button to invite the customer to go to the order form, you may select one from a list that shows both the standard buttons and the graphics files that you have loaded.

Order Button URL: If you want the customer to be transferred to another location (on or offsite) when the Order button is pressed, enter that address here. This must be the absolute Internet address in the format http://www.domainname.domaintype/pagename.

Back Button Stock: If you want to specify a custom button to invite the customer to go to the site's main page, you may select one from a list that shows both the standard buttons and the graphics files that you have loaded

Back Button URL: If you want the customer to be transferred to another location (on or offsite) when the Back button is pressed, enter that address here. This must be the absolute Internet address in the formathttp://www.domainname.domaintype/pagename.

When you are satisfied with your data, press the Submit button.
