This will open the 'Areas' Setup form.
Each of your Store's Departments will be attached to one of these Main Areas.
Main Areas are designed so that summary performance reports for the system may be supplied to upper levels of management.
- The Main Area Setup form displays an overview of all of the Main Area to Department to Category relationships setup in the system.
- Only Main Areas can be added or changed in this view.
- Use the Department and Category Tab Options on the same form,
to add Departments to Main Areas and Categories to Departments.
- To select an Area to edit, click on it's record on the left hand side of the form.
- Click on the 'Save' button to Save the record.
To add a new record, click on the 'New' button and fill in the new Area number and Description. - Click 'Save' to save the new record.
- To remove an Area, click on the 'Delete' button.
If the parent Area contains any 'child' Departments, the operation will not be allowed.
- Area Number- Use a unique, non zero number for the ID Number.
- The Area ID numbers should be sequential, starting at 1 for the first etc.
Main Areas only affect the Main Area Reports on the system.
If a Department does not have an Area ID, that department will be ignored on the reports. - Area Description - Put the Area's name in this field. Most text fields in the program have a practical limit of 50 characters. Short descriptions are beautiful when it comes to readability on reports!
- Areas higher than 100000 (5 zeroes) will not show on the Store - Summary Reports
- Cost Of Sales report.
The options displayed allow you to edit the Picture and Comment of the Area on the Site. In the absence of a picture, the web site displays a plain button.
