Did You See What Is Missing - The Tray

If you have started to use ePages V6.17+ then you may have found that something is missing, What we used to call the TRAY is no more. The TRAY was used to bulk move items around in the ePages administartion. So for example assigning products to a category or maybe assigning customers to a newsletter. But we are trying to make management of data easier and quicker.

Assigning Elements in V6.17

Now when you check the help area on the right of the administration window you will find the tray icon is gone.

Assigning elements got easier

When you want to batch assing elements now you just use the simple "ASSIGN' button that you will find at the bottom of any page where it is needed. For newsletters it is select customers button but works the same way.

Selecting products will open a new window in the administartion that will show all products. You can search in the window to look for specific products. You can select a product by ticking the selection box to the left of the product number. Once selected the number next to the Selected elements will increase (e.g. (3)) these are the products that you have selected. If there are multiple pages the selection from previous pages is maintained.
