Channel settings

When you create and/or edit a channel you also have access to number of settings which are used to configure channel behavior. Most of these settings are general, but the Shop Information-tab is only relevant for (and available on) shops.

The General-tab contains basic settings for the channel:

Setting	Use	Comments
Name	Set the channel name
Icon	Set the channel icon

The images tab is used when your solution uses image patterns to assign images to products.

To set up image patterns:

Check use method
Select the folder where you images are located - optionally check search in subfolders to also match images in subfolders to products
Specify a main product pattern and a variant product pattern. These are used to set the primary image for master products and variants
If relevant, create a number of additional patterns to match against

Patterns can be constructed using the following product fields:

Field	Example	Comment
ProductID	{ProductID}.jpg
ProductNumber	{ProductNumber}.jpg
ProductName	{ProductName}.jpg
ProductManufacturer	{ProductManufacturer}.jpg
VariantID	{VariantID}.jpg
VariantComboName	{VariantComboName}.jpg
VariantOptionLevel	{VariantOptionLevel1}.jpg	The name of the variant option added to the product, e.g. Green for VariantOptionLevel1 and Large for VariantOptionLevel2.
VariantOptionIdLevel
ProductEAN	{ProductEAN}.jpg
Custom product fields	{ProductFieldSystemName}.jpg	Please note that only product fields are supported, not product category fields or product group fields.

Some notes:

You can use any combination of these fields - e.g. {ProductNumber}_{VariantOptionLevel1}.png
You can add several patterns to a pattern field by separating them with ;
