Last Post at the Magento Overview: promotion, newsletters, CMS, reports and system settings

Thus, this series is not too much in the length of time and soon be able to get the screencasts to detailed transactions, this should be the last post for his overview about the Magento admin panel. Here I will explain

short, roughly, what all possible with the promotion, what is the point of CMS menu is good, what you can do with the reports and hide what setting options under the point system.

promotion
For Magento is a distinction between two types of discount: catalog price rules and Cart Price Rules .

The catalog price rules, the discount already calculated directly in the catalog and the detailed product view, while the shopping cart price rules until Cart be applied.
generally have both pricing rules some special things in common:

• Both can be
• within a given time period you may only certain groups of customers are made available to be claimed (multi-store system)
Now

or only for certain stores The question arises: What price a rule I use for what purpose?

catalog price rules ...

used ... one for all discounts that you would like to make depending on the product features.
get when creating catalog price rules we find the control information and the actions the rider conditions.
Here you can create different combinations of conditions with multiple conditions in which either all or some must be true or false, so the discount is granted.

want to condition select all the attributes that are suitable to the pricing rules, conditions and their property was to attribute set to "Yes" (edit catalog / manage attributes / attribute / attribute).

Examples:

• all products of one manufacturer can be reduced by 5%.
• cost for all products more than 50 €, a discount of 5 € charge.
• cost All the components in Red 4 € less.

cart pricing rules ...

... are used when one wants to make discounts on general conditions of an order. Also, the coupon codes and the "Buy 3 and pay only 2 actions are created here.

The procedure with the conditions is the same. Only the Bedinungsauswahl changes. In addition to the product attributes, one has now the attributes of the basket to choose from.

Newsletter
Magento hereby presents a fully-fledged Newsletter system-with which you can easily send newsletters to all customers who have signed up for the newsletter in your shop.


About CMS CMS (Content Management System) you can manage static content of the shop.
Static pages are, for example, legal notices, the "About Us" page. In addition to the CMS pages are available in the Magento CMS block. These are small content items that can be integrated thanks to the flexible layout system anywhere in the shops, if you master XML.

This small shortcoming, however, soon be history, because the next version of Magento has a solution for this, which I here http://swebdesign.blogspot.com/2010/01/einblick-in-magento-14-preview- release.html have presented before.

reports
This area includes all operations and actions from the store, which then as an Excel or. Csv file can be exported.
used correctly can be a very good tool to analyze the behavior of its customers and then the shop better adapt to the users.

system

Here are made all the basic settings for the system. In addition to the settings for the back end user, the modules installed, and the guidance on changes or updates to Varien one finds the store and cache management.

All this information serve only to get an overview of the features and capabilities of Magento.
Practical application examples, I will write in screencasts.
