Shipping Providers
The "Shipping Provider Maintenance" grid allows you to maintain your shipping providers and the information about them. Be sure to license a valid shipping provider before you create and set up this provider within CyberStore.
To access the grid in the Console menu, go to Setup > Shipping Providers.
When the application has loaded, the "Shipping Provider Maintenance" grid appears on the screen.
The Maintenance grid offers the following functions:
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. Even if multiple rows are selected using checkboxes, only a single row is affected by the context menu selection.
A bulk Action Menu can be found in the top left heading area of any applicable data grids in the CyberStore Console. The action menu allows a site adminstrator to select one (or many) records by using the left most check box column in any applicable data grid. A user can select (and deselect) all records by clicking the checkbox directly below the Action Menu's lightning bolt. Below is an example of selectable checkboxes and an Action Menu:
When selecting rows for bulk actions, rows can be filtered, and the grid can be paged, and when the action is performed all selected records will be acted upon by choosing the desired action
Selecting Delete will permanently remove all selected rows. A confirmation screen will be displayed which must be confirmed before the removal happens.
The Export option will show a list of exportable formats available (currently XLSX and XLS formats for Excel, a PDF file, or CSV formatted data). When a format is selected, the CyberStore data for all selected rows will be downloaded to a file which can be saved to your desktop or device for use offline.
When you click Edit or Add, the "Shipping Provider Maintenance" pop-up appears. This pop-up contains the following tabs:
