Add catalog entry description overrides

If the store is an extended sites store, we can use the Catalogs tool to set store specific catalog entry descriptive information for inherited catalog entries. By setting store-specific descriptions, you override the inherited asset store descriptions and ensure that the store-specific descriptions displays in the storefront for the catalog entries.


Procedure

  1. In our extended site store, Open the Catalogs tool.

  2. From the explorer filter, select Master Catalog or Master Catalog Categories.

  3. Find the inherited catalog entry containing the descriptive information we want to override.

  4. Right-click the catalog entry; then click Open. The properties view for the catalog entry displays.

  5. Click the Manage Catalog Entry tab for the catalog entry.

  6. Expand the General Catalog Entry Information section; then set or change the override fields for the information that displays in the storefront for our extended site store:

    Property Description
    Name (our extended site store) The name of the catalog entry that displays in the storefront.
    ShortDescription (your extended site store) Type a brief description of the catalog entry.
    LongDescription (your extended site store) Type a detailed description, if applicable.
    Keyword (our extended site store) Keyword used for searching. To include keywords, separate the words by commas within double quotation marks. Example "keywords 1, keywords 2, keywords 3".

  7. Expand the Display section. Complete the following information:

    Property Description
    Thumbnail (your extended site store) Type the path to the thumbnail image and the name of the image, such as images/shirt.jpg.
    FullImage (our extended site store) Type the path to the full-size image and the name of the image, such as images/shirt.jpg.

  8. Click Save; then click Close.

    Note: To display the asset store descriptive information for a catalog entry property after you set override information, we must either set the value for a property to "use setting from the Asset store", or remove any entered value. If no override information is set, then the asset store name displays. If you remove the override name, then the asset store name displays again.
