Defining markets
Available markets are defined in admin section where all markets are created. Each market may have a price list and a warehouse. If a market does not have a price list or a warehouse, that market will not display prices or availability. Each market is also connected to a default language which will be set when user selects that market.
...
In the case the automatically created name for the market is not wanted, it is possible to add a custom name. This custom name will then display instead of the automaticall created name. The custom name is a key text so it may be translated using custom-texts.config.
Directing user to a market using URL
It is possible to point a user to the site and select a market by adding the market to the URL. The market is referred using the code of the market (code column in settings page above).
This is how the url may look like.
http://domain.com/AssertWeb/en-GB/site/Catalogue/start/label?market=DE
Permissions
If a market is selected by using popup or by assigning a market to a user, the user will get a market permission. Also anonomous users visiting the site having selected a market will get this market permission. The market permission is the code on the market, eg. IT for Italy. If data is marked with permission IT, data will only be visible for that market.
