Tray
The tray is an area for temporarily storing objects or object groups. These objects may be products, customers, or even delivery methods. You can add an object to the tray at one place in the application and use it at another place.An example is sending newsletters containing product information. You select the products from the product list and add these to the tray. When you create the newsletter, you can take the products from the tray and insert them into the newsletter.The objects are saved in groups according to type. The number of elements which are contained in the group is displayed in round brackets.Note: There is one group for each object type (for example, customers or categories) and one group for each product type.The following methods are available to add objects to the tray:
- add a single object from its detail view.
When you are in the detail view of an object which can be added to the tray, its name will appear as the second-to-last entry in the tray.
This object has not yet been added to the tray. Do do this, click the entry with the object name. This adds the object to the correct group in the tray. The object link will be displayed as long as you are in the detail view for the object. If the entry is not a link, the object has already been saved in the tray.
- add a number of objects from a table using batch processing commands
If you want to add several objects to the tray at the same time, you must switch to the table view for the objects in question. In addition, the Add to tray batch processing command must be available for this table. Instructions for executing batch processing commands can be found in Batch processing in tables.
On certain pages it is possible to add objects from the tray. There is a button for this Add products from tray. Only objects applicable to the current task will be added from the tray.To remove an entry from the tray, click theicon behind the relevant entry.
To remove all entries from the tray, clickEmpty tray. When you sign out, the tray will also be emptied.
