Configuration parameter Meaning
QER\ITShop\Templates Preprocessor relevant configuration parameter for controlling the database model components for the Shelf Filling Wizard. Changes to the parameter require recompiling the database. Shelf templates can be used. Changes to the parameter require recompiling the database.

You can create templates for setting up shelves automatically. Use templates when you want to setup shelves in several shops or shopping centers with the same products.

Table 118: Templates Overview
Template Description
Global shelf templates A global shelf template is automatically distributed to all shops within the IT Shop solution. The global shelf templates are reproduced in every shop. A corresponding shelf with products is created in each shop. If a new shop is created with the IT Shop solution, the global shelf template is also duplicated in this shop.

NOTE: Global shelf templates are not distributed to default shops.
Special shelf templates A special shelf template is manually assigned to one or more shops. The special shelf template is copied to these shops and a corresponding shelf with products is added. A special template can be distributed additionally to shopping center templates.
Shopping center templates A shopping center template is linked to one or more shopping centers that it should be reproduced in. You can only assign shopping center template to shopping center. By assigning a special shelf template to a shopping center template you create a shelf from a template within that shopping center template. This shelf is subsequently set up in all the shops belonging to this shopping center.

In order to simplify understanding, these templates are given the umbrella term "shelf templates" in the following.

To use shelf templates

  • Set the configuration parameter "QER\ITShop\Templates" in the Designer.

The following is valid for all shelf templates:

  • If a template is modified, the changes are passed onto all shelves created from this shelf template.
  • If a shelf template is deleted, all the shelves that originated from it are deleted from the shop. Outstanding requests are completed.
  • Shelf templates can only be deleted when their assigned products and approval policies have been removed.

The following diagram illustrates the shelf templates that can be set up, their assignments and the resulting IT Shop solution.
