IMPORT THE PRODUCTS

This procedure allows you to load all the data of the catalogue at once from external database (ex. a Microsoft Access), that can comfortably be created and be modified offline, therefore without being necessarily connected to the Internet network. Excel/Access/Text: This import is developed in 3 steps:

 

    1. Select from your local system (from the hard disk, a floppy, a CD-ROM, the network...) the file which contains the database to import, and upload on the server. The database can be in format in Microsoft Access (.mdb), Microsoft Excel (.xls) or delimited text (.txt). Be careful: the upload cannot be interrupted; however once transferred, the file will be maintained even if the import had had to be interrupted, and it will not be necessary to repeat the procedure of upload.
    2. Establish the correspondence between the fields of the imported database and those of the store. Be careful: the products must have a name; if there is only the column description, use it as product name
    3. Complete the upload, if one of the columns of the database contains the names of the files of images associated to every product, it will be required to upload such images one at a time. Pressing the key "interrupt" it will be possible to cancel this step in order to repeat the import from the start. If you are not satisfied with the import and you want to start, press the key "interrupt".

It is possible to suspend the upload of the images to start it again later from where it left off.

BANKING TRANSACTION

In order to allow the visitors of the site to carry out purchases with their own Credit card, it is necessary to receive a list of One Time Password on the text file, from Banca Sella, and upload it in the database. The OTP are passwords use-and-throw that they will be cancelled, when the transaction is finished, and they cannot be re-used. The procedure of import of the password can demand time, for which we kindly ask you to be patient during the transfer of the data. In order to visualise and to cancel/confirm the transactions, you can approach the "MOTO mode".

NEWS

It is possible here to insert some news that will be visualised on the Home Page, in such a way that the administrator, having any news, can communicate it to the customers. List: here it is possible to have the list of news that the administrator has put on-line on his Home Page, and that he can modify.

Clicking on the "red C", it is possible to cancel, confirming a second time, the news published in the past. Add: this option allow you to write news that you want to be published on the Home Page. After you have written what you want the customers read, clicking on "Add ", the news will be immediately published on the Home Page; a reload will allow the news to be seen.

The administrator will have to fill up the fields with personal identifying data of the future customer, assigning a level of entrance, which depending on the level, he will not be able to approach all the areas available to administration. List: here it is possible to visualise the directory of the customers recorded from just the administrator of the site. Clicking on the green " M " it is possible to return to the initial window of the introduction of the customer and to modify whichever field and to change the level of access to the administration area, if desired.

Choosing the level assigned to the customer, the customer with the level chosen by the administrator, in the moment of admission will appear. Moreover it is possible to search for a customer with several possibilities to choose from, in order to simplify the search by setting up the personalised parameters. Writing in the appropriate space the name of the customer to search, and subsequently choosing a way of searching between the two possibilities: " At least a field - All the fields " or " Part of the field - entire Field " it is possible to limit the answers. Several possibilities of combinations of the parameters, example:
