Adding a DCD Long Description

In the Long Description screen, you can define the long description that is displayed on the website. This description displays in the Product Detail Web module. You can enter the long description using a Design Window or a Code Window.

The Design Window displays the HTML text editor tools, which are used to format the text similar to Microsoft Word. Some benefits of HTML includes the ability to emphasize text, use block quotations, and use diagrams or mathematical formulas. The problems with using HTML include compatibility issues, privacy attacks, increased spam, and large message sizes.

The Code Window is used to enter the long description in unformatted plain text. Even though this method is unformatted, it can be used without very much processing readable by simple computer tools, such as line printing text commands in Windows DOS window type.

You can only create one long description record per language for each product.

To add a long description:

1.    From the eBusiness Links task category, click Long Description.
The Long Description screen displays, as shown below.

2.    Click Add.
An HTML Editor Dialog box displays.

3.    Enter any HTML text or graphics in the text box.
You can also click the Code Window radio button to enter your description in HTML code.

4.    Select the Language from the drop-down.

5.    Click Save.
