bulk editing of products is well documented.
---------------------------------------------------
Modifying products You can modify previously created products, which means you can edit any of their details.
To modify a product:
1.Find the product that you wish to modify.
2.Open the product for modification. Do one of the following:
[FONT='Arial Unicode MS','Lucida Sans Unicode','Arial']▪[/font]In the 'Search results' dialog box, select the check box next to the product name, then click the Modify selected button.
or
[FONT='Arial Unicode MS','Lucida Sans Unicode','Arial']▪[/font]In the 'Search results' dialog box, click the product name link.
This should open a page with the details of the selected product.
3.Change all the necessary product details.
4.Click the Save button to save the changes. The details of the product will be updated.
5.If necessary, add, edit or delete international descriptions and other additional features for the product.
Group product editing (mass product editing)
If you need to make similar changes to more than one products, you might want to edit these products as a group.
To modify several products simultaneously (using X-Cart's group product editing feature):
1.Find the products that you wish to modify.
2.In the 'Search results' dialog box, select the products that need to be modified (select the check boxes next to the product names).
Note: You can use the
Check all link to select all the products on the page.
3.Click the Modify selected button.
This should open a page with a list of products selected for modification:
http://www.x-cart.com/xcart_manual/online/group_ed1.gif
and a 'Product details' dialog box displaying the details of a product whose name is written in bold font in the list of products selected for modification:
http://www.x-cart.com/xcart_manual/online/group_ed2.gif
Now you can view the details of any of the products from the 'Product list': all you need to do is click on the name of the product whose details you wish to view, and the details will be displayed in the 'Product details' dialog box below.
4.From the 'Product list', select a product whose details you wish to use as a model for all the products in the list. The details of this product will be opened for viewing and modification in the 'Product details' dialog box.
5.In the 'Product details' dialog box, change all the product details that need to be changed for the currently selected product. You can make any changes, no matter whether they need to be applied only to this very product or to all of the products selected for modification.
6.You might have noticed that the 'Product details' dialog box looks a bit different when used in group product editing mode: all the fields of this dialog box have check boxes located to the left of their names. These check boxes allow you to assign the product details of the product you are viewing to the rest of the products selected for modification. Select the check boxes next to the fields which need to be applied to all of the products in the 'Product list'.
7.Click the Save button at the bottom of the 'Product details' dialog box to save the changes. The product details you have changed should be updated (The ones with selected check boxes should be applied to all of the products in the 'Product list', the ones whose check boxes were left unselected - just to the product whose details are displayed in the 'Product details' dialog box).
8.(Optional) Now, if you need to make further changes to any more products from the 'Product list', select one of these products so its details are displayed in the 'Product details' dialog box and continue editing as described above.
9.(Optional) Add, edit or delete international descriptions and other additional features for one of the products and apply the changes to all the products being edited.
