To complete this request, you must have the “E-Business” application in Aptify. If not, you will need to add the application. To update the sliders, please follow the instructions below.  P

1. Open Aptify and navigate to the “E-Business” Application.  

2. Select “Web Articles”. 

3. Click on the “Active Slider” view. If you do not have an active slider view, mimic the filters below to create the view.  

Your active slider view will show you all sliders which are currently active on the store based on the Highlight Date.  Make sure that “Highlight Expire Date” is on the view.

   To add a new slider, the image must be saved in your network folder to be accessed from Aptify, not on your local machine.

• Category: For store banners, the category should always be “Store Highlights”. 

• Status: Status is mandatory but currently holds no action. However, in order for the item to show on the store it must be in “Active” status.  

• Date Written: This is the date that this form was completed. 

• Date Available on Web: This is the date which the item should show in the store.  

• Days to Highlight:  This is the number days it will be present on the web store.   

• Highlight Term: This field has no action currently, selecting “None” is acceptable. 

• Highlight Type:  Highlight Type is a mandatory field but much like the term field it has no action.
