Using Flags

Flags are an easy way for you to assign a special function or characteristic to a product or category. All you need to do is check a box on the Product or Category page and the flag will be activated.

Note: It is important to realize that for a flag to work, a special marker needs to be put on the templates of your site. If you would like to have a flag set up for a special purpose, please talk with Datahost technical support.

Common Uses for Flags

• To designate products to show in a special place, such as a featured area on the home page.
  
• To designate sale items.
  
• To designate products that will display specified text or graphics, such as "Featured" or "New Item."

1. Featured: Checking the "Featured" product flag causes the product to be listed on the home page. You will probably only want two to four products flagged at one time to show on the home page. Highlighted "Featured" text will appear next to the product on other pages where the product appears.

2. On Sale Now: Checking the "On Sale Now" product flag causes highlighted "Sale" text to appear next to the product.

To set a flag:

1. Open the Add/Edit Item page.

2. Check (or uncheck to remove) any of the Special Flags checkboxes.

3. Click "Save Changes".
