Adding a DCD Brief Description

In the Brief Description screen, you can define the brief description that is displayed on the website. This description displays in the Product Listing Web module. You can enter the brief 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 brief description in un-formatted 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.

Note.pngYou can only create one brief description record per language for each product.

To add a brief description:

1.    From the eBusiness Links task category, click Brief Description.
