EPower is our e-commerce solution that is available as a totally integrated
solution with Power-Gx for a full business to business and/or a consumer to
business solution. This Epower Specials option allows you to set up a list of products
that you want to offer to customers through the website for reasons such as one off
special offers, free products or deal of the day. The website will display
these a link to specials at the top of the webpage and allow the user to click on an image
of them to link to the list.
Within Gx Specials are similar in design to Deals but they are automatically
allocated to all Epower customers. Please note that Specials cannot be
amended through Maintain Catalogues in the way that Deals can.
1. Select Gx SOP from the toolbar.
2. Hold the cursor over
Epower on the menu.
3. Select
Specials from the second menu.
4. Select
a Special from the drop down list or click the New Special button to be
automatically assigned the next deal number. If you would like to create a
special from an existing deal/catalogue, type the number in to the space
provided. A warning message will be displayed informing you that should
you proceed the deal will not be amendable through Maintain Catalogues and it
will be available to all Epower customers, click yes to process otherwise no to
abort..
5. Enter the Name to associate with the Special in the space
provided.
6. If you wish to link the Special to an external webpage or site (for example a suppliers catalogue) tick URL and enter the webpage or site address in the space provided.
7. Select the Image Search button to search for an image to
associate with the Special. Please note that to ensure that Gx can access
the image please put the image in the Calidore folder of the local PC. The
image file must be a maximum size of 500 by 500 pixels and be a file type of
jpeg.
8. The Location option dictates the position of the Special on the home page of the website. The Carousel is located towards the top of the home page
and as the name suggests the image associated with each Special rotates around allowing the user to view/click all the Special Offers. The Special Offer Blocks refer to a static horizontal line
of images associated with the Special Offers usually located beneath the Carousel on the Home Page. As with the Carousel the user may click on the Special Offer they wish to view. See an example of the Carousel below with the Special Offer Blocks below.

the grid or right click the mouse and select the Add a Line
