Add the store to Central Manager

This topic describes how to add a store to Central Manager by entering the store's unique Store ID and assigning the store to a store group.

If you change the store database you must recreate the config file in Central Client. If you change the Central database - or if you add, remove, or deactivate a store - you must recreate the config file in Central Server. Refer to Modify settings for more information.

1. Open Central Manager. The shortcut should be available on your desktop.

2. Click Setup.

3. Expand Store.

4. Click Stores.

5. Click New.

1. Enter the Store ID.

2. Enter the Store Name.

3. (Optional) Enter a unique Store Code.

4. (Optional) Select an existing Store Region from the drop-down list, or enter a new region.

5. Select an Existing Store Group, or select None.

6. (Optional) For the Store Key, do one of the following:

• Manually type a key into the field.

• Click the key button to automatically generate a key.

The key should be a maximum of 12 characters long, and can be any combination of letters, numbers, or special characters.

If you choose to use Store Key for store authentication, you must first add the Store Key in Central Manager (this procedure) and then restart the Central Server services. After you have confirmed that the Central Server services are running, you must add the Store Key in Central Client and restart Central Client services. Refer to Modify the Central Client settings for more information.
