Autosettings

Before we leave our discussion of product creation and management, we need to discuss a special panel in the Product Detail screen: Autosettings. This panel is found in the Advanced Settings submenu.

Let's go over the particular settings found on this panel. You'll find these can be valuable to your product presentation efforts.

Short Description: The description you enter here will be used in category listings as a brief description of your product. In many themes, this description also appears at the top of the product detail page, usually below the title.
Visibility: You can choose whether you want the product visible to customers within category listings (catalog), search results, or not at all. In our couch example, we might not want the individual color couches available outside of the configurable product; therefore, we would set this field to Not Visible Individually.
Set Product as New from Date/Set Product as New to Date: In many themes, you can present new items in special display blocks or the word "New" might appear on the product listing. This trigger can be managed by setting from and to dates in these fields. If the current date falls within the dates used here (inclusive), then the product will be considered "New."
Country of Manufacture: In our global economy, jurisdictions and regulations often require that a product's country of origin be presented to customers. This is not, by default, a required field, but you can use it to denote from where a product originates.
Allow Gift Message: you can allow customers to add gift messages to products purchased. These messages appear on the packing slip.
