Drag and drop

[allanl]

If you link to a database, then you have to drag and drop the SKUs into the folder/sub-folders hierarchy.

I've found that if you use the section as the short description its much easier to drag into the section, and then by changing the short description to sub-section allow the final location of the SKUs.

It still takes a long time though.

I've noticed that during this process the SKUs are sorted by number. Is there a way to sort them by section or subsection? In that way you can select entire sections and just drop them all in the appropriate folder quickly.

Or is there a much better way than I know about?

I've noticed that during this process the SKUs are sorted by number.

Do you mean when they appear in the 'unallocated external products' section of the store before they are dragged and dropped in to the sections in the store?

I don't know of any way of changing this behaviour I'm afraid.

Uh, oh

That'a a shame. It takes long time to drag and drop unallocated items.

Perhaps you could combine this flat file feature into an Access or Excel sheet as additional fields and just populate the database directly.
