Assortments question.

Hello guys,

 

We are trying to use assortments, and since it's new feature, please be sure to correct me or suggest. :-)

Followed: http://manual.dynamicweb-cms.com/Dynamicweb-eCommerce/Modules/Assortments.aspx

 

And what I have done so far:

1) Create assortment in ecommerce (selected a single user from extranet, and a single product).

2) Created scheduled task, set it to repeat every 5 minutes

3) Management center > ecommerce > advanced > assortments > activate assortments = true.

Now what we got is:

Product dissapeared for (annonymous) unauthorised used. - that is allright, I guess for now...

Product dissapeared for other users (other than one I selected). - that is good that is what I expected.

Product dissapeared also for my test user (the one I selected in the assortment). - I did not expect that, so now I am confused, this user should have gotten the possibility to see and interact with the item. What did I do wrong. I want only this single user to be able to access and buy this product.

 

Lastly, I noticed something with ,

In product catalog we used to have 6 products all in all. After I activated assortments - we got 5 products in product catalog. - that is good, as we want to restrict that 1 product to only one user.

But in the filtering - it looks like we still have 6 products. That is not what I expected. Not sure why system still renders 6 products in the Manifacturer filter. But isn't it supposed to take this product as count out from filter if he is not supposed to see the product?

Hi,

When using assortments the assortment products are only visible for the selected user/group when logged in.

Try run the assortment schedule task and then run the index schedule task (run index as the last task).

We have a task for 8.5.1 about running both without handling this seperately.

Kind regards,
Merethe
