timestamp1712644155213
Here are the latest updates to InStore
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE RELEASE
Entry page & Primary attributes
Language and Country selection button is possible to change from start in the top right corner.
Pressing anywhere else on the screen or on the rounded Search button will trigger the search primary attributes drawer in the Entry page. Depending on the configurations in the InStore Admin Settings the primary attributes will be shown
NOTE: Primary attributes act as global filters so be cautious selecting them. For example ‘Gender’ attribute would make sense as a primary attribute. But selecting ‘Category’ as a primary attribute means that the search results will only result in styles within that category.
It is possible to have any number of attributes.
Once all primary attributes have been selected the Search Drawer will appear as well as Search results.
New Search Drawer
The old preference view where all attribute options were shown in a full screen view has been replaced with a new search drawer that appears at the top of the screen once the search icon has been clicked on
The user do not have to click on a “Search” button, instead every selection of an attribute option will trigger the search automatically and the next attribute (as defined in the Settings) will be selected
If there are too many attributes then it will be possible to scroll
The user can type any text search and press “Find” to add the term to list of search keywords
As soon as the user starts scrolling the Search drawer will disappear and the Rounded search button will appear
Dependent filters
Selecting an attribute option in the Entry page as well as in the Search Drawer will impact options of other attributes. For example choosing Men as Gender will hide Dresses from the options of Category.
The order that the user choses the attributes options impacts the dependent filter functionality.
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
When Internet connection drops the user will be redirected to the entry page with a small notification that Internet is not available. It will not be possible to browse products. Once Internet connection is restored the application will instantly function as normal.
