Creating Channel

To create a new channel for an organization:

In the navigation bar, select Organization | Channels.
A list of all channels is displayed.
Click New.
The Channel detail view is displayed.
Provide channel name, ID, and channel type and click Apply.
All other fields are optional.

New sales channels do not include usable content assets. You can, however, import the content shipped for demonstration purposes with Intershop Commerce Management into the default application of the new sales channel in order to prepare a "white label" shop.

Note: For this feature to work, the Intershop Commerce Management demo content must be available in your system. If necessary, ask your system administrator.

For details about preparing application content, see Preparing Application Content.
