View Lists allow you to create different versions of a catalog dependent upon the types of visitors who are viewing the Items. These lists control product viewing access so that different visitors can see different subsets of available Items.

View Lists can be associated with a Customer Class, a Customer, or an Account. Any single Customer Class, Customer or Account can only be associated with one list at any time.

To manage and maintain your View Lists, go to Items > View List Maintenance on the Console menu. 

 

The "View List Maintenance" grid loads. This grid provides you with access to all View Lists in CyberStore.

 

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.
