When Magento
displays a product in your store, that
product appears on its own page. Most of the informaNon that
your shoppers see on that page is entered here,
on the General tab.
NoNce that several fields on this page are marked
with red asterisks. These fields are required, so you
must fill them.
1.
Enter Name, DescripIon, and Short DescripIon.
The way
these fields funcNon is similar to
the fields for Simple Product. Your
customers will see the product
Name at the top of the product's page. The
Short
DescripIon
field appears below that, in the
secNon labeled Quick Overview.
The DescripIon field
appears below that.
2. Enter a unique SKU.
A Grouped Product
has an SKU, just like
a Simple Product. However,
when a customer adds a Grouped Product
to the Shopping Cart, the individual
Product's SKUs are added to the cart.
The Grouped Product's SKU is not
added to the Cart.
2.
OpNonally, enter dates
for Set Product as New from/to Date.
A new product can
be included in the new product display,
RSS feed, and/or an email
announcement. SeNng dates
in the fields for Set product
as new from/to date
makes the product new to Magento. If you
use any of these features, you
will need
to fill
in the date fields. However, if you
don't highlight the new products in your store, you
can safely leave these fields blank.
If any of the individual Products that make up the Grouped Product
are new, they will also
appear as new in addiNon to
the Grouped Product.
3.
Select
a Status for this Group.
Enabled makes this product acNve and displays it in your store. Disabled makes this product inacNve and
hides it from shoppers. It is good pracNce to keep
a product Disabled unNl you've filled out all the tabs and double-checked your work.
4.
Enter a URL key.
This field funcNons in the same it does for a Simple Product. The URL key field creates a search engine friendly
URL. Because a URL cannot have spaces or special characters, you cannot use it in this field. If you leave this field blank, Magento will generate a
search engine friendly
URL for you based on the product's Name.
5.
Select
the Visibility for this Group.
This field determines if the product will not display at all in your site (Nowhere), display on the pages of your site (Catalog), show up in search results (Search), or both (Catalog, Search). Note that although a product's
Status is set to Enabled, your shop-
pers won't be able to see or find that product if you have its Visibility
set to Nowhere.
6.
Select
the seNng for Allow Gi† Message.
This field
determines whether customers can
add a giG message to
this product during checkout. Yes
and No are self-explanatory. Use config
means that for this product,
Magento
will use the sitewide seNng for
giG messages. You will find that seNng under System
| Sales | Sales | Gi† Messages.
7. Save and ConNnue
In the upper right corner
of the New Product page,
there are two Save
butons:
Save
will save
what you have entered in this tab, and advance you to
the next tab. Save and ConInue Edit will save the informaNon that you
entered,
but keep you on the same tab.
