Using the Item List Snippet

 

You can easily add item lists to your content page using the Item List Snippet.  You can edit an existing list, or create a new one from scratch and then add it directly to the page you're working on.

Placing the Item List Snippet

With your content page open, select "Default" or "WebAlliance Snippets" from the Snippet Drop-Down Menu.  Drag the "Item List" snippet to your preferred location on the page.

Using the Item List Snippet

Click the "Select Item List" button on the snippet you dragged to the page to determine which list you want to see.

  1. To add an existing list to the page, click the name of the list you want to add.
  2. Click the edit button on a list to adjust the items that appear in the list.
  3. Click the delete button to delete the entire item list.
  4. Click "Refresh" to get a fresh look at the available Item Lists.
  5. Click "New List" to create a list from scratch.

For best results, use only one Item List on any Content page. If you use multiple lists, they might not display correctly.

Adding a New List

Click the "New List" button to create a list for your content page.

  1. Enter a name for the list.
  2. Enter valid Item IDs for your list, one per line (these must be ERP Item IDs).
  3. Click "Add Items" to add the items to the list (they will appear under "Current List Items" after they have been added).
  4. Drag-and-drop items under "Current List Items" to arrange them in the order you want them to appear on the page.
  5. Click the delete icon to remove an item from the list.
  6. Be sure to save your changes.

Keep this list to around 25 items. When the content page loads, it has to fetch pricing for the items on the list. More than 25 or so can cause the page load to time out, resulting in no pricing for any of the items on the page. And, of course, if no pricing is available, the user can't add the item to their cart.
