Overview

Configuring Status Events

  1. Before an item or order status is selected at the Status Change Events screen, the user must first create the labels using the List Maintenance screen. The List Maintenance screen can be accessed via:

    Main Menu>Settings>Data Functions>List Maintenance

    Main Menu>Settings>System Functions>Status Events>List Maintenance button

    Page 2 of the Setup Wizard > Order Status System section, and select the Enter Status' button

Note: A default list of status labels can be loaded via the Store Setup Wizard> Order Status System>Load Default Status Events button. Be aware that changes made at the Status Events form take effect immediately. There is no "Undo" button to reverse the changes once they are made. Make a backup copy of the data file if a significant number of changes are going to be made.

  1. To select an item or order status for an event, click in the appropriate cell in the Item Status or Order Status columns and select the appropriate status from the drop down list. If status updates can be received by your shopping cart, click the Notify Cart check box at the end of the row.

Tip: Having more than one status event configured to change the status of the item

or order to the same status label value may negate the sending of status updates

during Process Tracking Numbers. more...
