In the Fixture Type Editor, you can create universal fixture to which you only define dimensions, number of shelves, etc. However, if you know that the fixture is always used, for example, for a certain category, you can directly assign a category, category variant and other properties.

In the Fixture Type Editor, you can basically edit the same properties as in the Store Editor. To learn more about the meaning of these features, read the Fixture Editing manual.

Custom Properties

Custom Properties are a specific section of the Fixture Type Editor. In the Custom tab, you can create a new property for a given fixture type. This property appears in the Store Editor - Fixture Properties tab - section Custom only if it is the fixture type for which this custom property was created.

In what situations are custom properties used?

You need to define certain properties for a given fixture type which may differ in different stores.

For the shelf, you can have the optional property "Type of bar" and define here the selection "plastic," "wooden" ... Subsequently, each time you insert this fixture type into the floor plan of a specific store, you can select in the Custom Properties which bar will be located in this specific store. For the Fixture Type "Rack - tall, 6 shelves", we define the custom property "Type of bar". 

1. In the Fixture Type Editor for "Rack- tall, 6 shelves," go to the Custom tab and click the New button.

The Custom Property appears in the table in the Custom tab.

If you add the "Rack - tall, 6 shelves" Fixture Type to the floor plan, you will find a newly added property in the Custom Properties section, the value of which you can change for different stores. In our case, for example, for the Beroun store, we set that the Type of bar will be "Plastic". 

Custom Properties in the Store Editor 

Quant can thus be used to record various properties of a fixture. The advantage is that you can find out across all stores, for example, in how many stores there are plastic bars and in which stores specifically. The table in the Fixtures in Stores section is used for this. You can read more about this option in the manual.

In the Fixture in Stores section, you will find all the fixtures that is located in the floor plan of a store. In the table, you can easily filter a certain fixture type and find out in which stores it occurs and its quantity.

We want to find out in which stores the fixture type "Rack - tall, 6 shelves" occurs and in what number. First we find the column "Fixture Type" and then we set the filter on it so that only "Rack - tall, 6 shelves" appears in the table. The procedure is shown in the figure below.

 To view the content of the table, you need to click on the Report button.

Component Blocks

In addition to fixture types, you can save fixtures in Quant in the Store Editor in the Component Blocks tab. Component Blocks allow you to build a library and, unlike fixture types, also offer the possibility to store groups of several fixtures or groups of other components (cash registers, labels). We recommend combining component blocks with fixture types because component blocks do not allow to filter all fixtures of the same type in the store fixture table or edit it in bulk.

You can read more about using component blocks in the Component Blocks manual.
