Completing the General tab

 

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.
