Magento - Overview of the catalog section
Today I would like to briefly summarizes an overview of the field catalog in Magento geben.Dieser area actually all together, what with the production, processing and has to do product management.
products manage
Here are all the products displayed in a list. They can, as mentioned in the previous post, in the filter head of the table to show only desired products or perform tasks for certain products.
There are three options: delete, change attributes and status update.
Delete I do not need to be further explained. Here are the chosen products will be lost. change
status causes a set off or on for the selected articles. Inactive items are (see store or the customer) in the front end disappears.
Update Attributes is interesting when you have many products that one needs to assign its attributes the same value. For example, if you sell a variety of T-shirts, but now will get all the same price.
Magento will open the product configuration with all the attributes that you can easily change in all products. (Example: SKU = Item number is unique for each product, so this is not included).
Manage Categories
As the name suggests, are here the categories managed.
This is a convenient new feature to mention that there will be in version 1.4.
preserve order shop owner in front next to the daily business and to learn more HTML, you have finally installed a WYSIWYG editor (What You See Is = What You Get). Similar to MS Word Here you can write texts and provided eg with pictures and tables.
attribute sets / attributes manage
Each product is assigned when you create a Attributset. This specifies which attributes may have the product.
attributes are all characteristics of a product: the price, description, manufacturer or example, the color of a T-shirt are all attributes.
attribute sets collect logically related attributes, because if one runs a shop where there are completely different products (eg computers and clothing), you do not attribute the computers with a selection box for the size (S-XL).
URL Rewrite Administration
Magento is very search engine friendly. Including through the static page name in the address bar.
These are listed here. There is normally required to set anything further. Magento takes care of everything if URL rewrites enabled are.
Searches
The nice thing about Magento, is that pretty much everything recorded.
Such as all entered search terms with the returned product results and the number of inputs by the user.
Through these reports you can quickly get to know the preferences of the user to respond and thus increase sales! To
certain words or phrases to make "searchable" who are not somewhere in the product you want, you can create search queries.
So you can choose to react to this word which search query and then enters the synonyms which occur in the products, making these results are shown. Alternatively, you can also enter a URL.
customer reviews and opinions
This menu has two sub-items "Testimonials" and "Manage Feedback".
Customer Reviews: Here you can see which customers opinions have been sent and are still waiting for activation by the administrator (his But be set in the configuration that require customer opinions activation) and edit, select or delete .
manage Ratings: Here it is possible To edit the rating criteria, which can give the user per 0 to 5 stars.
Keywords
The so-called "tags" can be created for each product for the user to simplify the finding of other customers. addition, the user may also account for the specialty products, for in the standard template, these words as "Clouds" is displayed.
That is, the more popular the word, the bigger the word is written.
Google Base
This feature allows the Magento to import products to Google Base.
Google Base is a product search service.
There is a good guide how to use this service.

This post is indeed in English, but I will come back later in German on back.
Google Sitemap
Google Sitemap allows very fast and simple, an XML tree structure of the shop be established. This can then upload to Google Webmaster Tools and Google can index then the city better. The result is better search results for the shop.
That was it for the first time today. I hope I have helped and am looking forward to the next post.
