Feature Pack 5

Verify the customization in Management Center

Feature Pack 5

In this lesson, you are verifying that your customization is successful by testing the customization in Management Center.

Feature Pack 6 or laterAttention: This tutorial is based on the folder support that is included in Feature Pack 5 and is not recommended if you are on a newer feature pack level. Beginning with Feature Pack 6, support is provided by default for grouping e-Marketing Spots, activities, customer segments, marketing content, promotions, and attribute dictionary attributes. This support includes the capability of creating, changing, and deleting folders within the Management Center Catalogs, Marketing, and Promotions tools. You are not able to group folders created by following this tutorial with folders that are created by using Management Center. If you create Management Center folders by following the steps included in this tutorial, delete those folders before you create folders by using Management Center. For more information about folders, see Folders.

Feature Pack 7 or laterSupport is provided by default for grouping content pages and layouts in the Commerce Composer tool. This support includes creating, changing, and deleting folders with the Commerce Composer tool.

Procedure

  2. As an administrator, open the Marketing tool. If you log in as a Marketing Manager, folders do not display. You must load the access control for your Marketing Manager before the folders display for this user.
  3. Select the Aurora starter store.
  4. Ensure that your explorer view displays the e-Marketing Spot folders. From the explorer view, navigate to E-Marketing Spot Folders > EMarketingSpotFolder > JanuarySpots. The following screen displays sample folders in the explorer view:

    If you select the EMarketingSpotFolder from the explorer view, the following error message displays. This error appears because you must create the corresponding JSP files to connect Management Center to call the service to return the folder information.
