EZNetTools EZ-Find Dealer/Location

EZ-Find Dealer/Location is the ideal way of advertising for your dealers. You can easily give your customers access to all of the dealers in their location. You can use this program to show your customers who you dealers are.

To get started with the 'EZ Find Dealer/Location', we go to the construction tools and choose 'EZ-Find Dealer/Location' from the dropdown list. After clicking on the 'Go' button, you will be given 5 choices:

|Edit Dealers| |List All Dealers| |Find Dealer| |EZ-Import| |Main Menu|

We will cover the 'EZ-Import' in a moment, but first we will 'Edit' our dealers.
The 'Edit Dealers' button gives you a chance to work with the dealers you have. It brings you to a page that has a very thin text box along with a number of buttons below that. The buttons are explanatory: Click on the 'Add' button and you will be given fields to fill in about this dealer. You then submit that dealer, and it will be placed in this text box. When you want to edit one of these dealers, click on the dealer and click the 'Edit' button. This is the same with the 'Delete' button. Click on a dealer and click the 'Delete' button and the dealer will be removed. Be careful as these are deleted without any further prompts. When you are done working with your dealers here, you use the 'Return to Main Menu' button.

The 'List All Dealers' button simply creates a full list of all of your dealers. You can use this to print the list if you would like.

The 'Find Dealer' button gives you the same page that your customers will see when they are looking for a dealer. Click Here to learn how to add a link to this page.

The 'EZ-Import' option makes it fast and easy to import a large list of dealers into your site. This saves time because you need not take the time to add each one. To use this option we first must setup a spreadsheet:

Enter the following text into each of the specified cells.

In block A-1	Company Name
In Block A-2	Contact Name
In Block A-3	Address
In Block A-4	City
In Block A-5	State
In Block A-6	Zip Code
In Block A-7	Phone Number
In Block A-8	Fax

Now fill in each column with the appropriate information for each dealer. Never Use Commas nor Apostrophes anywhere in this area. When you are done filling in this information, Go back and remove the first row of information (company name, contact name....) Then save the file as a comma delimited file. (.csv) This can be done by changing the 'File Format' option while saving.

After saving this file, you will go back to the tools and click on the 'EZ-Import' button. This gives you a page that asks for the file to import. Use the 'Browse' button to choose the file off of your computer.
The file you saved was in a comma delimited format, so you will need to choose the radio button next to 'Commas'. Click on the 'Continue' button and you will be brought to a 'Field Definition' page.

Each column in the spreadsheet will be available to define.
Click the dropdown box next to 'Company Name' and choose the company name. Do this for all of the fields. When done defining the fields, click the 'Continue' button.
This will import your file and give a link to your Dealers. Click on this link to be sure that all of the information imported correctly. If they did not, you can use the 'Restore Backup of Dealer List' button.
