Tips and tricks dialog is available in your
Store Manager. It can be opened through Help section of the Main
Toolbar. In this window you can see some tips and enable "Show tips and
tricks on Startup" option to get some helpful hints every time you open
Store Manager.
1. Advanced Filters
Advanced filters are column filters that can be applied to basically
any column of the current page (table). It allows you to show and hide
rows (filter) based on cell content.
Data
filtration can be executed in any table on the base of filter factors.
Required factors are specified in the column title drop-down.
If you select Custom option filter window will appear. It creates a
filter statement that will be applied. You can choose this option even
if some filter is already established. In this case you'll see this
filter's stricture.
There are several values for the data filtration you can select, all
listed in a column title droop-down with the check-boxes. Filtration is
applied as soon as you mark a box.
If filter for any column is established, then it will be reflected in a special panel that appears at the bottom of the page.
There is a check-box that allows you to disable current filtration,
thus show all products. However it does not close Advanced Filter panel.
If you press

it will do both: disable filtration and close panel.
When clicking

you will see a list of all Advanced filters applied previously. You can change your current filter to any of them.
If you click on Customize button you'll see Filter Builder form with
current filter structure. You can make any changes here: add, edit or
remove filter parameters.
2. Export to Excel
Almost every page or section in Store Manager has an Export to Excel
option. By pressing a corresponding button you can save data into an
Excel file immediately.
3. Copy Categories
There may be a reason why you need to copy quite a few categories,
which can take a lot of time. Thus you can use category Import/Export
Wizard to simplify this task.
Let's say you have
5 parent categories, each of them has to include 30 similar
subcategories. You've entered all 30 in Category One. Make sure this is
current(selected) category and click Import/Export button, select Export
option. Specify the file you want your subcategories to be exported to
(e.g. subcategories) and the path to it. Than select "Only from current
category" option on the next page and proceed with the export.
Then select all the subcategories, drug them to Category Two and drop
there. Subcategories will be moved to that category automatically. Now
perform import of the file you've created (here we used
"subcategories"). Category One will list the Subcategories again. This
way you'll have same subcategories in 2 categories.
Now Drag&Drop the subcategories From Category One into Category Three and import them again.
This trick can be used on basically any level of your category tree.
