Models

With any new site setup, Model data is of key importance. It is important to get data correct from the start in terms of quality and integrity. The greater the volume of information held against a Product, the better.

To add or edit a Model, follow these steps:

1. Go to Products > Models in the IRP Admin left navigation menu.

2. To add a new Model, click the Add New Model button on the top right side of the screen.

   To edit an existing Model, click the Edit button at the right side of the Model you want to edit.

3. Enter or edit the following details on the first Basic Model Details tab:

   Setting	Required	Description

   Active		Active Models will appear on the front end of the website. Inactive Models will not be visible to the Customer.
   Model Name	✔	The Name given to this Model. The Brand Name and Stock Option should not be included in the Model Name. Model Names should be an exact match to the manufacturer’s specification. This is vital for Google and SEO purposes. Click the Translate link to translate the name into any active language in your system.

   Offer Status		The Offer Status for this Model. This determines how the model appears on listing, models and offer pages with regards to Sale/Clearance icons. An image will be displayed on listings pages, beside stock items on the models.aspx page and on the yourIRP/offers.aspx page (desktop) and the yourIRP/MobileOffers.aspx page (mobile site). Options available include the following (the corresponding database code is shown in brackets): (0) Not On Offer - No icon displayed (1) Sale - /Interface/Icons/Sale.gif displayed (2) Clearance - /Interface/Icons/Clearance.gif displayed (3) Sale and Clearance - /Interface/Icons/SaleAndClearance.gif displayed (4) Back In Stock - /Interface/Icons/BackInStock.gif displayed (100) New - /Interface/Icons/New.gif displayed (101) Custom Offer Type 1 - /Interface/Icons/CustomOfferType1.gif displayed (102) Custom Offer Type 2 - /Interface/Icons/CustomOfferType2.gif displayed (103) Custom Offer Type 3 - /Interface/Icons/CustomOfferType3.gif displayed (104) Custom Offer Type 4 - /Interface/Icons/CustomOfferType4.gif displayed These images are stored in the Interface Folder section and you can also update them in the 'Offer Statuses' section of the Product Settings section and the Offer Status Content section. If you want to add images of your own to replace the default images, make sure that you give them exactly the same name as those described above (‘CustomOfferType3.gif’ and so forth) and make sure that you only use GIF images. Remember to back up the existing image files in case you want to reuse them at a later point. NOTE that you can manage Offer Statuses and the default offers.aspx page content using the Offer Status Content section. If a Model Status is set to anything other than ‘Not on Offer’, the adjacent Offer Icon will appear next to the Model’s Main Image on Listing pages: NOTE: Customers can view all your offers on the yourIRP/offers.aspx page (desktop) and the yourIRP/MobileOffers.aspx page (mobile site). Typically you would link to this page from your top navigation or from a strategically-placed promotional banner. Note that this page also uses the 'In Stock Only' filter.

Use the Add button to add more Attributes. Note that you must enter values for the Attributes in the fields below. The Attributes that you can select are the ones that have been configured at the Category level of the model (see Categories).

Text Descriptions will display as such and line breaks can also be included. NOTE that you should not use XML (even if appears to be available in the drop-down menu). Note also that there is an Application Setting you can use called 'Enable Model Info Request Link' (in the 'Models Page' grouping); if enabled, and a description for a model does not exist, a link will appear allowing the customer to request product information for details on the model. The text is configurable and translatable using Small Translation 62 - the English default text is: Description coming soon - if you need details to purchase please click to email <website name> and request the product information.
   Auto Generate Short Description		Automatically generate the Model’s Short Description from its Full Description. Note that there is an Application Setting (in the 'Models Page' grouping) called 'Short Description Max Length' - if the value of this Setting is set to anything greater than 350, it will be automatically set to 350 as that is the maximum allowed length for a Model Short Description.
   Short Description		Short Description to appear in some areas on the website front-end such as listing pages when the List View is selected. This option only appears if the Auto Generate Short Description is not checked.
   Additional Information 1
   You can use this section to provide, for example, ingredient details, additional product information, or for any reason you desire. This will be shown in the same area as the product description and any other sections you have configured such as Reviews, Q&A, Price Match Requests, etc. See the example below for more information.
   Additional Information 1 Tab Title		The title that you enter here will be used as the title of the Additional Information 1 tab/section (depending on the display style Application Settings you have configured) for this model only. If no content is currently saved then a Category-level title will be used if one exists (you configure this on the CategoriesEdit.aspx page). If no Category title exists then a Small Translation (2664) is used as a default. You can 'Translate' the title into any active language in your system.
   Additional Information 1		The content that you enter here will appear as an additional description section on the customer facing Models page. You can include images, text and video content using the HTML Editor and you can select any language from the drop-down list to indicate which country the section applies to.

If no content is currently saved then a Category-level title will be used if one exists (you configure this on the CategoriesEdit.aspx page). If no Category title exists then a Small Translation (2665) is used as a default. You can 'Translate' the title into any active language in your system.
   Additional Information 2		The content that you enter here will appear as an additional description section on the customer facing Models page. You can include images, text and video content using the HTML Editor and you can select any language from the drop-down list to indicate which country the section applies to.
   In the following example, we have entered 'INGREDIENTS' for the 'Additional Information 1 Tab Title' setting and a list of ingredients for the 'Additional Information 1' setting. The tab appears as follows on the front end:
   Custom SEO
   These Model-specific SEO values will be displayed on the Models.aspx, MobileModels.aspx and Trade/Models.aspx pages. If you do not enter any Model-specific values, the current SEO values will continue to appear (Title: Brand name + Model name; Description: Brand name + Model name + Category name + Small Translation 1266; Keywords: Brand name + Model name + Category name + Small Translation 1010).
   Page Title		Enter the SEO Title for this Model. Select a language using the drop-down list above the text box. It’s generally recommended to keep these titles to 50-60 characters in length (including spaces). Normally you should use a nice logical format, such as: Primary Keyword | Secondary Keyword | Website Name.
   Page Description		Enter the SEO Description for this Model. Select a language using the drop-down list above the text box. These descriptions can be any length within reason, but Google will often truncate these and display only 150-160 characters. So aim for that length and remember your goals: to provide value and drive clicks. Make sure these are relevant, engaging and a genuine reason to click through to your website. Note that if a model does not have a Page Description (or Trade Page Description for the Trade Site) set, the Short Description of the model will be used instead, if one exists.
   Page Keywords		Enter the SEO Keywords for this Model. Select a language using the drop-down list above the text box.
   Trade Page Title		(Only visible if you have enabled the Trade Site.) Enter the SEO Title for this Model on the Trade site. Select a language using the drop-down list above the text box.
   Trade Page Description		(Only visible if you have enabled the Trade Site.) Enter the SEO Description for this Model on the Trade site. Select a language using the drop-down list above the text box.
   Trade Page Keywords		(Only visible if you have enabled the Trade Site.) Enter the SEO Title for this Model on the Trade site. Select a language using the drop-down list above the text box.
   Other Model Information
   Gender		The Gender specification, if applicable, for this Model.
   Age Group		The Age Group specification, if applicable, for this Model.
   Season		The Season specification, if applicable, for this Model.
   Year		The Year specification, if applicable, for this Model.
   Enable Price Match for Model		Customers can request a Price Match for this Model if this setting is enabled. The Price Match link will not appear on the Models page if this setting is disabled. NOTE that (currently), in order for Price Match voucher discounts to be applied to orders, you must also enable the 'Can Be Discounted' setting.
   Show Dispatch Message		Enabling this setting will display an estimation for dispatch on the front end Models page. The Dispatch Time is governed by the following Application Settings: Show Dispatch Message Set Dispatch Message Display Style Closing Time
   Can Be Discounted		Discountable Models can be discounted with Vouchers, Loyalty Schemes or Site wide Discounts. Non-discountable Models will be ignored — customers will NOT be able to use vouchers and other promotions if this box is not checked. Pay particular attention if you have configured a model as a sale item; generally you will not want to make a sale item also discountable.
   Is Bundle		Check this box if you want to identify this model as a bundle, particularly for Google shopping purposes.
   Exclude from Promotions		If you check this box, this Model will be ignored for Products that are being offered as part of a promotion.
   Has Manufacturer UPIs		Related mostly to feed management, when this field is set to true, it indicates if any Unique Product Identifiers (e.g. EAN13), are actual manufacturer UPIs or not. In almost all cases, this should be left on. However a case may arise where you may be creating an ‘item’ which does not have a ‘barcode’. In this case, you should uncheck this item. Another example is your gift vouchers, which of course only have a part code in the context of your store.
   Hide Price In Listings		Prices will be hidden on Listings pages if this setting is enabled. The customer will only be able to view the Price by clicking into the Models page. This is typically limited to the golf industry.
   Show Large Image Popup		If true, a Large Image popup will show when the Model Image is clicked. This will occur where the Original Model Image uploaded is bigger than that displayed on the main Models page. If the Original Model Image uploaded is the same size as the one displayed on the Models page, the Large Image popup will not appear. Note, the Application Setting, ‘Enable Large Image Popup on Models Page’ will override the Display Large Image property set against a Model and will need to be enabled before the Large Image popup appears.
   Amazon Pay Restricted		Determines whether this Model is available for purchase via Amazon Payments. Restrictions apply to the items that can be paid using Amazon Payments (e.g. weapons). – Select 'Yes' if this item cannot be purchased via Amazon Payments. – Select 'No' if this item can be purchased via Amazon Payments and to override any Brand or Category rules. – Leave as 'Inherit' if this item should adhere to any Brand or Category Rules there may be.
   Add To Basket Display Style		This setting provides you with an alternative means of displaying all available stock options for a model in a drop-down list instead of a standard list of all options one under the other. This will be useful in scenarios where there are many available stock options with off-putting amounts of text and details being displayed on the models page. The value of this parameter can override the ‘Set Add To Basket Display Style‘ Application Setting. For full details, refer to the How To Add Add-To-Basket Drop-Down Lists of Stock Options article in this section.
   Target Days To Sell Stock		This is the number of days from the purchase of the stock items to when all stock items should ideally have been sold.
   Default Sort Order		This setting allows you to control the positioning of individual models on all front-end listings via a custom value. This value will be used to control the order of product lists when option 12 ('Default') is selected for the 'Sort By Default' Application Settings (in the 'Product Listing' grouping) and also when 'Default' is selected for the value of the 'Default Sort By' setting at the Brand or Category level. If the model-specific 'Default Sort Order' is left empty, the sorting will fall back on the Sales Rank but any models that do have a 'Default Sort Order' value will display above those that don't. Note that you can also define the sorting orders of multiple products using the 'DefaultSortOrder' column in the data files available in the DataBulkUpdates.aspx and DataImportProducts.aspx sections of IRP Admin.
   Marketplace Settings
   Amazon Marketplace Inclusion		This setting determines whether this model’s stock items are specifically included or excluded from Amazon marketplace integrations, or if they inherit their inclusion/exclusion from brand-category rules. The default is Inherit i.e. inclusion/exclusion is determined by brand-category rules. If there are no brand-category rules for a marketplace, active products are included by default. If you choose Include or Exclude, this applies to all Amazon marketplaces.
   Amazon Marketplace Condition		These are Amazon’s options for an item’s condition. Choose the most appropriate option. The default value is New.
   Advanced Model Information
   Kit Status		This determines the Kit Status of a Model. Options available include: Not A Kit – Default value Kit – This should be selected if this model is to be a Kit. Kit Item Only – This model will only be available for purchase as part of a Kit. They will not appear on Product Listing pages on the front end, and as such, will not be purchasable on an individual basis. They will be available for selection within Kit Groups, in the back end.
   Redirect Type		If this model is inactive, but a customer manages to navigate to it (via a cached Google search), a redirect can be applied: No Redirect - No Redirect occurs. Redirect To ID - A search is performed based on the Redirect Parameter. A different Model ID should be entered for the Redirect Parameter. Redirect To Search - A search is performed based on the Redirect Parameter.
   Redirect Parameter		Where the customer’s browser should redirect them should this Model be inactive. If the redirect type is set to Redirect To ID, this should be set to the ModelID of the item you want to redirect the browser to. If the redirect type is set to Redirect To Search, this should be set to the search term you would like the user to see the results for.
   Purchase Type		Models will not be available for purchase through the website if ‘Contact Retailer’ is selected. These items will still be displayed on listings pages but may not be added to the customer’s basket.
   Model External		The external identifier for this Model. This identifier may come from a third party or an external stock system.
   Harmonisation System Code		This is an external reference, possibly used for integration purposes. The codes are used for classifying products on customs documents.
   Notes		Supplementary notes held against the Model. These are not displayed on the website.

4. When you have entered or edited the necessary details, click the / button. If you are inserting a new Model, new tabs will appear Images, Attributes, Product Groups Linked Personalised Products, Linked Models and Stock Images.

5. Click the Images tab. Here you can set the main images that will appear for the Model. Supported formats include Jpg, Gif and Png — Jpg is the generally recommended format. You can have any number of images per product. Enter or edit the following details:

   Setting	Required	Description
   Images for ‘Model’
   Current Main Image		This is the current main image that will appear for this Model, Kit or Fixed Kit. The recommended size for Model images comes directly from the 'Model Images Width For Larger Image' Application Setting (located within the 'Products' grouping). Therefore when you upload a main image against a model on the ModelsEdit.aspx page, the width and height of the image are compared against the value of the Application Setting and the 'Recommended Image Size' text will either be red or green depending on whether the image dimensions are larger or smaller than the Application Setting, for example:
   Product Image Order		You can reorder images using drag and drop actions. The first image is the default main image for the Model. Images are ordered from left to right and determine the default order in which images are displayed on Model detail pages. To see the original version of an image, click the magnifying glass icon. Click the Delete button to remove an image. Note that when the main image is changed, the large popup of the image may be changed based on the new image size. The large image popup will show when the Model image is clicked. This will occur where the original model image uploaded is bigger than that displayed on the main Models page. If the original model image uploaded is the same size as the one displayed on the Models page, the large image popup will not appear. The application setting, ‘Enable Large Image Popup on Models Page’ will need to be enabled before the large image popup appears. You can also use this section to ‘tag’ images in your IRP with a description of up to 200 characters. The description will be displayed below the image and will also be shown when you change the image on the carousel. These tags can help customers better understand what the image is showing. To tag images, follow these steps: Click the right-side ‘tag’ icon. A text box opens to the right of the image: Select the language for the tag using the drop-down list. Enter the text for the tag. You can separate distinct features with commas. Here is an example: Click the Update button to save the tag description. Check that the tag appears the way you want it to appear on the front end. Here's how the example from the previous step appears; you can see the description below the image: You can also use this section to display a different image from the main image when a customer hovers over their cursor over the main image. This applies to all listing pages (Brands, Categories, Search and so forth) on the standard and private sale sites. This allows customers to see more aspects of a product without having to click through individually to each one that they are interested in. You can configure this feature at the Application Setting level by setting ‘Model Listing Hover Image Index’ (Product Listing group) to 0 (no hover image will show), 1 (the first additional image will show), 2 (the second additional image will show) and so forth. However you can override the Application Setting on the model level by ticking the box in the top-left corner of the image: Here is an example on the front end with Application Setting set to ‘1’ – this is before hovering the customer: Then when the cursor is hovered over the image, the following image is shown:
   Upload Additional Image		Upload a new additional image for this Model, Kit or Fixed Kit. Additional images will be available in a carousel below the main image. NOTE: The maximum request size is 8 MB.
   Enhanced Image for ‘Model’
   Current Flash File		If relevant, this is the Current Enhanced Model Image that will appear for this Model, Kit or Fixed Kit.
   Upload New Flash File		Upload a new Enhanced Image for this Model, Kit or Fixed Kit. Please Note, if you already have an Enhanced Image in place, it will be overridden. Click the Browse button to locate the file, then click the Upload Enhanced Image button.

6. When you are finished, click the Update Model button.

7. Click the Attributes tab to add Attribute values to the Stock Items of this Model. The count on the Attributes tab relates to the number of Attributes available to the model in question.

   Note that the Attributes tab will be hidden if no attributes have been configured for the product Category.

   All current Attributes will be displayed, along with their corresponding values for the Stock Items, if any exist. Enter any necessary Attribute values and click the button.

   You can also add Stock Attributes in bulk using the Import Stock Attributes section.

8. Click the Product Groups tab to edit the Product Groups associated with this Model.

   All current Product Groups will be displayed. Check the boxes for all Product Groups that you want to assign to the Model. When you are finished, click the Update Product Groups button and the Update Model button.

9. The Linked Personalised Products tab allows you to link Personalised Products to their equivalent standard Model. For example, if you have a t-shirt that can be customised by adding an image or logo to the front, but you also sell the same t-shirt without any customisation or personalisation options, you can link the two products using this setting.

   Enabling this setting will cause a link to display on the front end Models.aspx page connecting the two Models (customisable and non-customisable).

10. Click the Linked Models tab to add links to other models on this model’s page. This allows you to show ‘similar’ products to customers on your site. Relationships can be One Way or Two Way:

    • One Way: The linked model appears only on the current models page.
    • Two Way: The linked model will appear on the current model’s page and the current model will also appear on the linked models page.

    You can choose to check the Allow Inactive box in order to allow an inactive model to be linked. Note that inactive linked models will not display for the customer on the front end.

    When you have configured linked products, the products that are linked appear below the product description on the front-end model page. You can change the text that is displayed using Small Translation 2168 (by default the text is ‘Similar Products’).

    Note that if a model has only a single stock option, then that option will be selected by default and the Add to Basket button will be displayed. This is in contrast to models that have more than one stock option which will prompt the user to select an option before displaying the Add to Basket button.

11. Click the Stock Images tab to relate stock items with images. The count on the Stock Images tab relates to the number of distinct stock items that are linked to an image.

    Drag a stock item from the list on the right into the area next to an image to create a relationship between the stock item and the image:

    
    Only link images of stock options. This enables the system to display images of stock options instead of generic product images e.g. customer’s baskets, product look-ups, etc. This allows you to, for example, associate a green image with a green stock item; if this item is added to the basket, the correct image will then be displayed. When you are finished, click the Update Model button.

12. When you have entered or edited the details in the remaining tabs, click the button.

NOTE: Admin Users will only be able to edit the Option Text of a Stock Item if the Application Setting called Allow Stock Option Edit is enabled. HOWEVER, if the Stock Item has been previously purchased, the User will not be able to edit the Option Text regardless of the Application Setting's value. If the Setting is disabled, the User cannot change the Option Text of Stock Items even if they have not been previously purchased.

To Edit a Stock Item, follow these steps:

1. Go to Products > Models on the left navigation.
2. Click the Edit button at the right side of the Model you wish to edit.
3. Scroll to the Size/Colour Options section.
4. At the top of the section you can select the following options:
• Go to Stock Supplier for All Options: Automatically assigns the selected Supplier to all Stock Options within this Model.
• Go to Show Local Prices in Editor: Choose whether to show the Local Price column on the Stock Option Editor. Once the Local Prices are showing, you can update each value individually or in bulk.
• Go to Show Cost Prices in Editor: Choose whether to show the Cost Price column on the Stock Option Editor. Once the Cost Prices are showing, you can update each value individually or in bulk.
5. At the far right side of the heading row, you will see a ‘down arrow ’ (∨). Click this to toggle the Bulk Stock Operations Row on or off:
   
   Here you can see a check box beside the Local Price cell (this will be visible only if more than one Stock Location exists for the model). When you tick this box and click the Apply button, the Local Prices for all Stock Locations with the same currency will be updated. If you don't check this box, only the current Stock Location prices will be updated. If a Stock Location exists in a different currency, the Local Price will not be updated and a message will appear to notify the Admin User about the Location(s) not updated. This feature saves you from having to update each Local Price individually.
6. Click the More button to open the Stock Edit page for this Stock Item:
   
   The details are described below but note the checkbox beside the 'Local Price' cells - this allows you to update stock at all locations for a specific stock option. It will only update the locations with the same currency. A tooltip appears when you hover your mouse over the checkbox to warn you that it will update all locations. The checkbox will appear only if there is more than one stock location for the stock option. This feature means that, if an option has a different price, it can be updated across all locations without you needing to change it numerous times.

   Quantity Discounts
   This section is visible only if you have enabled the Application Setting called 'Enable Quantity Discounts' (in the 'Technical Settings' grouping). Note also that you can choose to use the 'Show Quantity Discounts Only When Present In Model' Application Setting (in the 'Add to Basket' grouping) - if enabled, Stock Quantity Discounts will only be displayed on the Add to Basket controls on the Models page if they are set up for that particular Model. If disabled AND Stock Quantity Discounts are enabled, the Add to Basket controls will display quantity textboxes beside each Stock Item regardless of whether that particular Model has Stock Quantity Discounts set up. This should be enabled if you only want to allow Quantity Discounts on specific Models. Quantity Discounts allow you to sell products at a cheaper price as long as a certain quantity is being purchased. To do this you must set the quantity range and corresponding price value for each range. For example, if a Customer purchases between 1 and 10 coat hangers from you, you will sell them at 25 pence each. If they decide to purchase between 11 and 20 hangers, you will sell them at 22 pence each. You can leave the To (Qty) field blank to create an open ended discount. In this case, any amount of the Stock Item purchased that is greater than the From (Qty) value, will be charged at this price. The From (Qty) and Price fields will be entered with 1 and the stock items web price initially. These values can be changed if necessary. Note that higher quantities MUST have lower prices. To remove a quantity discount simply delete the 'To' value and 'Price' value for the bottom discount. You can set up multiple Quantity Discounts on a Stock Item. The qualifying discount will be the only one which applies.
   From (Qty)		Beginning quantity value for range. For example, 11.
   To (Qty)		Ending quantity value for range. For example, 20.
   Price		The price value for this range. For example, 0.22

Note: In order for this feature to work as expected, remember to set the ‘Set Add To Basket Display Style’ Application Setting (Models Page group) to the correct value (‘1’ for the standard list style and ‘2’ for the drop-down style).

   • List: On the front end, this displays a list of the stock options one under each other:
     
   • Droppdown: On the front end, this displays a drop-down list of all stock options:

   • Default: This depends on the value of the ‘Set Add To Basket Display Style’ Application Setting. If the value is 1, then the default will be to display stock options in the ‘List’ format. If the value is 2, then the default will be to display stock options in the ‘Dropdown’ format.
6. Click the Update Model button to save the details.

• Option name (this displays as a link)

• Quantity discounts (when applicable)
• Add to basket link (considering stock availability)
• Add to wish list link (when applicable)

Note that when only a single stock option is available for a model, the drop-down list will not be rendered and the option details will be populated with the option details by default.

If customer has selected no item and they try to add the item to their basket an error message will be displayed and the drop-down list will be highlighted:
