When this component is activated, a certain number of newly offered products are showcased on the storefront and in the catalog pages. The options below (Figure 6) control the corresponding settings:
| • | Number of products in the "New Arrivals" box – enter the amount of newly offered products to be listed in the 'New Arrivals' box at the storefront, entering '0' (zero) deactivates the component. If amount of products that meet the new arrivals criteria is higher than this number, the list is split into several pages and the number is used to specify how many products should appear on one page. |
| • | Period during which a product is to be marked as "New" (hours) – this is the main new arrivals criteria: specify how many hours from being added to the store database a product is to be considered as a new arrival. Enter a '0' (zero) value here to deactivate the component. |
| Note: | All newly added products are automatically marked as 'New' for the period specified in the options of 'New arrivals'; this can be manually changed for an individual product (See the section 'Product-Specific Settings' of this manual for details). |
| • | Show category-specific new arrivals – with this option activated, the list of new arrivals displayed in a particular category or subcategory contains only new arrivals that belong to this category and its subcategories. When the option is deactivated, the list of new arrivals is the same throughout the catalog and contains new products from all categories. |
| • | New arrivals displayed in – this setting defines where the list of new arrivals is to be located. The default setting is to display it in a side box as a brief list ('a side box' option), alternatively you can choose to display it as a detailed product list in the main section of the customer's screen ('the main section' option). |
| Note: | No pagination is available if you choose the side box option. If the number of products that meet the new arrivals criteria is higher than the maximum number allowed, a link titled 'All new arrivals...' is displayed in the box. Clicking on it takes a customer to a dedicated 'New arrivals' page. |
