Introduction

First, all of the selections in the Order Form Configuration are optional. The catalog will function without making any changes to the Order Form options. There are default values specified in the Global Information and by the EZ-Catalog system itself. You only need to make changes if you want a different look and feel to your Secure Order Form pages.

The Secure Order Form is one of the three ways for shoppers to place an order on your web site.  The Secure Order Form will list every active product in your catalog.  If a product is in multiple categories, that product will appear on the Secure Order Form once for each category it is assigned to.  Consequently, the Secure Order Form can become quite long and take a while to display.  As a result, you would normally only use this form for a small catalog.

Buttons at the Top and Bottom of the Options Section

Use Defaults

If at anytime, while editing the settings on the category display, you want to go back to the basic settings that came with EZ-Catalog and forget about the changes you made, you can do so by clicking on the "Use Defaults" button located in the upper-left of the page. This button will reload all of the default settings that come with ALL of the different layouts. Please note that if you have been working with different layouts, and have made changes, that all of these changes will be changed to the defaults, even though the other layout settings are not visible. This button is located in the top-left and bottom-left of each section under EZCatalog Appearance. If you want to go back to your previous settins, use the "reset" button.

Previous and Next

If you want to go back to any of the sections under EZCatalog Appearance that are previous to the Category Display section you can use the "Prev" button, or if you want to just go ahead and skip over the Category Display section then use the "Next" button. Both of these buttons are located at the top-center and bottom-center of each section under EZCatalog Appearance.

Reset

If you want to undo all of the changes you have made since you last saved your work, click the reset button. This is different from the "Use Defaults" button because the "Reset" returns the values to what you had saved previously whereas the "Use Defaults" takes the values back to those that came with the selected layout. This button is located in the top-right and bottom-right of each section under the EZCatalog Appearance.
