texte = I'm just starting to set up WebCatalog for a clothing and accessory store. The physical store uses Retail Pro software for it's inventory, sales, vendors, cash register etc. management.I exported the inventory database of 2700 records. For every article of clothing, there is a unique record for every size and color combination. Can someone pls advise me of the best way to setup my Webcatalog database so that when a customer searches for shirts it returns only one result for each type of shirt and then when they go to get details on the shirt the color and size options are available for selection? I'm not clear on how to do this.I would like to import data directly from Retail Pro if possible, perhaps via a Filemaker database which I could use to massage the data.Any and all help appreciated.
