Catalogs

 

In T-Boss you have the option of editing a catalog, creating a new catalog, and generating pricelists based upon your catalog of choice. To access the catalog view, from the Edit menu select Catalogs. Or click the  icon.

 

Edit Catalog

 

 

To edit an item from a catalog choose a vendor from the drop down list and select the item to edit from the list box below. For faster results you can type in a specific item in the text box above the list box, or type in a specific item description from the descriptions drop down list. Once the item has been selected you should see the available item name, description, size(s), color(s), and prices in the table below. To change the price values for an item simply click in the case, dozen, or piece table box and enter you desired value. Remember if you are changing any size values between XS-5XL be sure to enter those values in the form of XS-XL-2XL-3XL-etc. Otherwise they will appear in the other column of the Invoice/Quote screen. If the item does not relate to a value from XS-5XL go ahead and enter what you feel is the best description for that size and that value will appear under the other column. To add an image for items that show “No Image Available” click the Add Image button to locate the image of your choice. Catalog images should be approximately 75 x 75 pixels in size.

 

 

Import Catalog

 

Catalogs must be formatted to a specific format before importing! If you would like a catalog formatted email it to us and “We” will format if for you!

 

 

You have the option of automatically downloading the major vendor catalogs from our server or performing a manual import of catalogs that we have formatted for you. To import a catalog simply click the Connect To Server button and click the catalog link to download the catalog of your choice. You can also click Manual Import to manually import a catalog from your local machine.

 

 

Delete Catalog

 

You do not need to delete a catalog before importing an updated catalog.

To delete a catalog select the vendor from the drop down list and click the Delete Catalog button.

 

 

Add Remove Items

 

To add and remove items from a catalog select the Add/Remove Items button.

 

 

When removing an item from a catalog the item is not deleted from the catalog but set as inactive. This means that the item will not appear in the list of available items when creating an Invoice/Quote. At any time you can go back into the catalogs view and re-activate the item to make the item appear. To add items to the catalog enter the Style/Code in the appropriate text area and enter a brief description for that item. Once you have entered the Style/Code and description click the Add Item button to add the item to the in-active list box. To activate the item(s) highlight the item(s) and click the >> button to move the item(s) into the activated list box. Once complete click OK to return to the main Catalog screen and begin adding details to that item. Simply click the Add Row button to add additional size(s), color(s), and price(s) to the item.

 

 

Generating Pricelists

 

 

Click the Generate Pricelist tab to generate a pricelist. Pricelists are generated item by item, matrix by matrix or both. The idea behind this is to generate customized pricelists suited for specific customers or general pricelists tailored for events, specials, etc. If you want a general package to give to current/potential customers just generate pricelists of your most popular items with no decoration(s) and pricelists of your most common matrixes. To generate a pricelist select a vendor from the drop down list and select the product of your choice. To view the item with no decoration charges, markup only, click the Preview button. You should see the item picture, description, size(s), price(s), in the window below. To add a decoration charge to the item click the Add Print or Add Embroidery radio button and choose the matrix colors/thread count of your choice. Click the preview button again to see the changes. Once you have a pricelist tailored to your liking you have the option of adding the pricelist in the current view to a zip file.

 

 

To add items to the list of zip files click the Add To Zip button. When complete click the Build Zip button to save the zip to your local machine or click the email button to automatically add the zip file to the email client attachments folder.
