Adding and Editing Products: Both are done directly through The Market section.

You can edit current products several ways. First, the name, price, unit, and quantity are editable just by clicking on their values. You can edit everything about the product (such as upload a new photo or change the long description) by clicking on the "Edit Product" link over to the right of each item. You can make a product unavailable for purchase by clicking on the "Make Unavailable" link right below that. This will set the available quantity to zero and remove it from the customers' view. Unavailable products have a grey background, and you can make them available again by clicking on the "Make Available" link. The available quantity will still be zero, so be sure to click on that and change it to the amount you actually do have available.

New products are added to the system by first navigating to the category you'd like it to be in. If the category you're in has sub-categories, you'll need to continue down the "tree" until you're in the proper sub-category. New categories and sub-categories can be created if needed by clicking on the icon, but be sure to contact your market manager if you are unsure about how your market's categories work. Once you are in the correct category, click on the icon to add a product to that category. New products will automatically be added to both the "New Products" display and the "All Products" category. New products with an available quantity of zero will be unavailable for purchase.

You can also copy existing products in to this category, even products at an entirely different locallygrown.net market. First, find the "copy code" for the existing product (you'll find it over on the right, under the links), then go to the category you want to copy it to and enter the code in the "New Product" form. The code can come from a product at another market, and it'll get copied into this one.

To quickly change your prices and availabilities for all of your items, click on the "Browse your listed products" link below. This will take you to the "All Products" listing, but will only show you your products. Just go down the page, changing the information for each product as needed.

You can delete "Unavailable" products that have never been ordered by clicking on the "Delete Product" link. Products that have been ordered in the past can only be deleted by market managers - their record keeping may need to preserve that sales history. You can ask your market managers to delete old products for you, and they can make that call.
