Web Page Management
Web Page Management can be a full time job and there is a learning curve.
Just being able to export a file and Import it into you e-commerce site will not complete the task.
There will be curious events and frustrations but once the learning curve is over, it can be a simple enough process to manage the site.
Note: Generation IV of SoEasy will have facilities to be a fully integrated model. Due out in 2019.
Things to Consider

- You can set a Product, Category, or a Heading of Products On/Off the web list
- Stock on hand must be accurate

You can set all tiers as being on or off the web.
This means you can individually specify a Heading, Category, or a Product is to be On/Off the web.

If you make a change, you will need to replace the entire Product Register on your web page.
| HEADING | CATEGORY | PRODUCT | |
| Not on Web | = Not on Web (All Categories linked to Heading) | = Not on Web (All Products linked to Category) | |
| On Web | Not on Web | = Not on Web (All Products linked to Category) | |
| On Web | On Web | Can be On or Off |
Images
Your e-commerce page will tell you about the size and format of the images required.
SoEasy automatically creates a link image name based upon the Products Code + JPG
and expects to find the image at the directory SOEASY\PHOTOS
You do not have to place the image at this location but during the file creation Soeasy will place the image as being code.jpg (or code.JPG)
Note: Always set the image name and extension as either uppercase or lowercase. Never a mixture as links to images have to be exact.
