Setting Up Enhanced Content

To use the Enhanced Content feature, you must set up your system to display the content information to your shoppers. There are several steps involved in setting up your system.

1. To use enhanced content, specify the type of enhanced content to use in Site Preferences:

1. Click Global Settings and click Site Preferences.

2. Click Edit.

3. Under Enhanced Content Provider, select the provider to use. Click the appropriate option and enter the corresponding identification numbers and passwords, if required.

4. When finished, click Update.

2. Next, set up or modify your feature settings:

1. Click Customer Settings and click Feature.

2. Click the down arrow in the Select Settings box and choose the setting you plan to assign to customers to enable them to access the Enhanced Content tools.

3. If you use the Machine Matching feature (end users’ MyMachines), click the Access Machine Matching check box.

4. In the Machine Matching Tool Data box, click the down arrow to select the wholesaler catalog to use when the system matches on machine supplies (such as ink & toner cartridges and other supplies) for selected copiers, printers, and fax equipment.

5. Click the Enhanced Content tab.

6. Click the Enable option in the Enable Enhanced Content box.

7. Click the Enhanced Content option in the Choose Content for Quick Search box.

8. In the Choose Content for Advanced Search box, select the appropriate option:

• Click ECinteractive Standard Content to display standard items and limits (including items from custom or other wholesaler’s catalogs) on Advanced Search pages. If you use custom items or other wholesaler catalogs, we recommend you select this option for Advanced Search.

• Click Enhanced Content to replace the Advanced Search item results and limits (standard manufacturer, brand, and attributes) with the enhanced item limits and enhanced content catalog item results.

• Click Not Display Advanced Search to remove the option to limit searches by manufacturer, brand, and other attributes (recycled, minority-owned, and so forth).

3. Once you have set up site preferences and feature settings to enable enhanced content, you can assign these settings to customer groups:

3. Click the Description box and enter a description, Enhanced Content, for example.

4. Under User Groupings, click the down arrow in the Feature box and select the feature group setting you set up for Enhanced Content.

5. When finished, click Save.

4. You can also use the mass setting management feature to assign enhanced content to specific shoppers:

1. Click Customer Settings and click Mass Setting Management.

2. Click the down arrow in the Customer Filter box and select the category by which to search. You can search by account code, department code, general ledger location, inventory location, or attention.

3. In the corresponding box, enter the criteria by which to search. For example, if you select Department Code in the Customer Filer box, you could enter Acct for Accounting.

4. Click Get Customer. All customers who meet the limits you set appear in the Customer List.
