Types of Assets and Buttons

Types of Assets and Buttons

When you select an asset in the Navigation pane, regardless of what tab you use to locate the asset, you see a list of that asset’s properties in the Details pane. You can discern an asset’s type by the image used for its icon:

Icon

Asset Type

Base Search Configuration or Search Configuration

Catalog

Category

Catalog Folder, Media Folder, or Price Lists Folder

Facet

Media, Promotion, or Coupon

Price List

Product

Search Configuration Folder

SKU

A second way to recognize an asset’s type is by selecting the asset. The status bar located on the top of the Details pane provides the asset’s name and type.

Some assets appear in the Browse tab beside two boxes. A box with a plus or minus sign displays only when the asset, such as a category, folder, or product, can contain other assets. When you click the plus sign beside a category, for example, ATG Merchandising displays the next level in the hierarchy, typically a list of categories or products. You can continue to click plus signs to drill through a hierarchy. A minus sign indicates that an asset’s nested assets are already visible. Click the minus sign to hide the nested assets.

Each asset has a checkbox that you use to select it. Selecting an asset’s checkbox indicates that the next action you initiate by clicking a button will involve that asset. To move several independent assets, for example, check the checkbox beside each asset before clicking the Move button. At the top of each tab, there’s a checkbox that you can use to select all assets in it or, when some assets are selected, deselect them. Note that in the Browse tab, you can use this checkbox to deselect assets only. The checkbox appears in the Search tab after you have located assets from a search query.

There are several buttons that you may see in various tabs and views in ATG Merchandising. Here’s the set of buttons available to you in the Navigation pane:
