  • User Defined Product Swap Classes With no Open Range data: Leaving the box blank displays products on one 'Alternatives' tab. By typing the name of the Swap Class in the box, products with the same swap class are displayed on their own tab.

    Swap class is set on the item in Horizon / Stock Card / Additional/Swaps tab.

    To enter multiple values they should be separated with a comma e.g. Green,Star Buy,Quality With Open Range data:
    Open Range data adds attributes to the product data. Type the name of the Swap Class in the box, to display them in a section called Related Products. Example: You want to set a related product of a toner to appear on the product page of a laser printer. In Horizon, open the stock card for the printer and on the Additional/Swaps tab, add the toner product as a Replace action swap with a swap class of Alternative. In HorizonWeb, type Alternative in the User Defined Product Swap Classes box.

  • Allow Login via an iframe
    Iframes are used to display web pages within web pages. Allowing logins via an iframe is considered by some to be a security risk. Others like the convenience of being able to embed a HorizonWeb login from their own web site.
