Characteristics Grid

The "Characteristics" grid allows you to maintain the Characteristics for your Items and the information about them.

To access the grid in the Console menu, go to Setup > Characteristics.

When the application has loaded, the "Characteristics" grid appears on the bottom portion of the screen.

The Maintenance grid offers the following functions:

Create: Click the Add button.
Modify: Click the Edit button within the row, or double-click on any row in the grid.
Remove: Click the Delete button within the row.

After you select the Add or Edit button on the grid, the grid's maintenance pop-up appears. Then you can add or edit specific information. After you select the Delete button, the Console asks you to confirm the deletion, and once confirmed permanently deletes the row.

A right-click Context Menu provides functions available for indivdual rows, one at a time.

Simply right-click on a row, then pick from the list of available options for the grid, and the selected action will be performed just on that row.

Tip:

Use the SAMPLE - CyberStore Item Characteristic Data Worksheet to create a spreadsheet containing all your stock codes, Characteristics and Characteristic values to help streamline the Characteristic Value import activities. Doing so will allow you to quickly copy adjacent columns of data directly from Excel to the import area. Just be sure that your stock code column is to the left of the Characteristic Value column.
