Adding catalog entry description overrides
If your store is an extended sites store, you can use the Catalogs tool to set
store specific catalog entry descriptive information for inherited catalog entries. By setting
store-specific descriptions, you override the inherited asset store descriptions and ensure that
your store-specific descriptions displays in the storefront for your catalog
entries.
Procedure

Open Management Center tools and from the
left navigation menu, click .
- From the explorer filter, select Master Catalog or Master Catalog Categories.
- Find the inherited catalog entry that contains the descriptive information you want to override.

Right-click the catalog entry; then click Open.
The properties view for the catalog entry displays.

Expand the General Catalog Entry Information section; then set or change
the override fields for the information that displays in the storefront for your extended site
store:
Property Description Name (your extended site store) The name of the catalog entry that displays in the storefront. ShortDescription (your extended site store) Type a brief description of the catalog entry. LongDescription (your extended site store) Type a detailed description, if applicable. Keyword (your extended site store) Keyword that is used for searching. To include keywords, separate the words by commas within double quotation marks. Example "keywords 1, keywords 2, keywords 3". -

Note: If you want to display the asset store descriptive information for a catalog entry property after you set override information, you must either set the value for a property to "use setting from the Asset store", or remove any entered value. If no override information is set, then the asset store name displays. If you remove the override name, then the asset store name displays again.
