Using a Green User Defined Products Group

Setting Up a Green Products Group

If you create a user defined product group called Green, all assigned products are included in your HorizonWeb GreenProducts page.

Note: A user defined product group is not the same as a group, as in Ranges, Groups and Subgroups.

Upload a "Green" Icon to HorizonWeb

1. Create an image to label "green" products. It must be a 25 × 25 px gif file called green.gif.
2. In HorizonWeb, click Admin > HorizonWeb Designer > File Manager. The File Manager window opens.

   

3. Click the left-hand pane, click the images folder.
4. Click Choose file… . The Open window opens.
5. Browse to the green.gif file. Click the file to select it, then click Open.
6. The file-name is displayed. Click Upload file.
7. The files are sorted by alphabetical order. To view the file in a browser, use the address: <site address>/images/green.gif .

Create a Green Products User-Defined Group

1. In Horizon, in the Set-up menu, click User-defined groups.
2. Click the Products tab.
3. In the User-defined groups toolbar, click Add. A new line is added to the grid.
4. Below the grid, complete:
   • Description – Green
   • Web image – green.gif
   • Details – This message is displayed on HorizonWeb when customers hover over the "Green" icon.
   • HTTP link – link to a page when the green.gif icon is clicked. You could link to a page describing your company's sustainability policy. Alternatively, to link to your Green Products page, type: /GreenProducts.aspx . This is a relative link (external link) using your HorizonWeb site's base URL, and will open in a new browser tab.
   • Load image – do not load an image. The image used is the green.gif file you uploaded in HorizonWeb.

   

5. Click Confirm.

Adding Products to a Product Group

You can add or clear several products from a product group from Stock Card > Browse.

1. In the Stock menu, click Products. The Stock Card opens.
2. Browse for the products you want to add to your group. For example, you could search for "remanufactured" in the product description.
3. Click the Groups tab, at the top of the Browse tab on the right-hand side.
4. Select the groups to which you want to assign the product, for example Green.
5. Click in the product list and use extended selection to select the products you want to update. For example, press CTRL+A to select all products.
6. Below the product list, click Set Groups. A progress bar is displayed.

Clearing products from a group is achieved in a similar way, this time clicking Clear Groups.

You can also add a single product to a product group.
