Changing Your Vendio Login Information
Sales Manager Pro stores your Vendio account username and password so it can access your online images, templates, preferences, etc. If you have changed your Vendio username and/or password online, you must update this information in Sales Manager Pro.
 
To change your Vendio login information:
  • Click the Preferences icon in the Left Navigation bar.
  • In the dialog box that appears, click Change in the Account Information section.
  • In the next dialog box that appears, update your username and password.
  • Hit Enter on your keyboard to commit the changes.
  • Click Save to close the Preferences dialog box.
     

     
    Changing Your Vendio Account Preferences & Settings
    Sales Manager Pro uses the same Vendio account preferences and settings you have online. For your convenience, links are provided to your My Account page and your Site Accounts page from the Preferences dialog box. To access the links, just click the Preferences icon in the Left Navigation bar.
     
    Note: Whenever you change your online account preferences and settings, be sure to Synchronize to reflect the changes in Sales Manager Pro.
     
    Using Proxy Settings
    Use proxy settings only if required by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The vast majority of users can ignore these settings. If you are not sure whether you need proxy settings, or if you do not know your proxy settings, please check with your ISP.
     
    To enter proxy settings:
  • Click the Preferences icon in the Left Navigation bar.
  • In the dialog box that appears, click the checkbox labeled "Connect using proxy".
  • Enter the host and the port number in the fields provided.
  • Click Save.
     
    Setting Your Image Synchronization Preferences
    There are two image synchronization options that can reduce your synchronization times. In a full Synchronization, all your Standard images are synchronized with Vendio Image Hosting. This means that all new images you have added to the Image Bar will be uploaded to Vendio Image Hosting, and all new images added to Vendio Image Hosting will be downloaded to Sales Manager Pro. See Synchronizing & Uploading to learn more about synchronization.
     
    The following two synchronization options will enable partial Synchronizations by only uploading or downloading certain images. By default, both of these options are turned off. Each option works independently of the other so you can turn on one, both, or leave both off.
     
    To set your image synchronization preferences:
  • Click the Preferences icon in the Left Navigation bar.
  • To turn an option on, click the checkbox for the option you want to turn on in the Image Synchronization section of the dialog box that appears.
  • To turn an option off, uncheck the option you want to turn off.
  • Click Save.
     
    Setting your AutoSave Batch Preference
    The AutoSave Batch option can substantially reduce the time it takes to save a batch, and protect you from losing your work. With AutoSave Batch turned on, Sales Manager Pro will automatically save a batch after each new listing is added or deleted. If it is a new batch, it will prompt you to Save As a file name after the first listing you create. The AutoSave Batch option reduces the time it takes to save a batch by saving as you go.
     
    When AutoSave Batch is turned off, a batch will remain in an unsaved state until you manually save it. By default, AutoSave Batch is turned off. We recommend you turn on AutoSave Batch since it will protect you from losing unsaved batches in the event of a system crash or other failure.
     
    To set your AutoSave Batch preference:
  • Click the Preferences icon in the Left Navigation bar.
  • To turn on AutoSave Batch, click the checkbox labeled "Enable batch AutoSave" in the AutoSave section of the dialog box that appears.
  • To turn it off, uncheck the box.
  • Click Save.
