Attention Suppliers-
DistributorCentral has added color coding to your Distributor data in your account.
Beside each distributor, there is a number. This number is the total orders this distributor has entered in the system.
Now the number will be color coded.
Green means that the distributor has done orders in DC with other suppliers.
Black means that the distributor has done orders in DC with your company.
Red means that the distributor has not done any orders in DC from this account yet.
This can help your order entry or customer service departments to better distinguish between different accounts and make better decisions on which account to use.

How to use an Iframe to put your DistributorCentral product catalog onto your outside website…
An <iframe> tag defines an inline frame that contains another document or web page. Iframe’s allow you to display content (i.e. the DistributorCentral catalog) on a site in a window, which eliminates the need for a pop-up window.
Click here for an example of a demo site that is outside of DistributorCentral that has the DistributorCentral catalog in an Iframe.
You’ll notice that the catalog looks seamless with the outside website.
Here is the HTML that is typically used to put an iframe on a site.
<iframe src=”YOUR DC CATALOG LINK HERE” frameborder=”0″ height=”600″ width=”100%”>
</iframe>
You can find your DistributorCentral catalog information in your DistributorCentral account in the Website Publisher area.
Click here to visit a site that explains more info about Iframes.

Customize the Product Catalog Page on your Website…
By default, the All Products catalog displays on your DistributorCentral website which has products from all of your suppliers on DistributorCentral. However, you can create Custom and Preferred Supplier catalogs to give your website a more personal touch.
Click on the links below to see the difference:
Default Catalog Page
Custom Catalog Page
On the example above, the catalog page consists of the default All Products catalog and 14 Custom Catalogs which have been created in the account and assigned to the website. There also are custom images uploaded to represent each catalog.
Click on the image below for reference of how the Product Catalog page above was created.
See the Users Guide to learn how create Custom Catalogs, or watch the Quick Custom Catalogs Video Tutorial.
