I hope many of you have had a chance to take a look at the Store Profile feature in Aspect EliteLP. We have had some questions so I wanted to do a second posting to make the process a little more clear for our users.
Building store groups from the Store Profile Master allows you to build a dynamic criteria-based store group from your store master file. You may want to create groups for super stores, or new stores, or any other criteria. The amount of data you have in your store file will determine the effectiveness of this feature. After you make changes to your store file you will need to come back to this feature and re-create your groups. The window is divided into two main areas. The list of your groups is at the top, and the attributes for the selected group appear at the bottom. The more detailed steps for this will be on our LinkedIn page.
Creating store group definitions is a simple process. First you must click on the New toolbar button. This will add a new line to the list at the top of the window. Enter the name you want for this group. This name will appear throughout the system so you will want to make it as descriptive as possible. Then you can start adding attributes in the bottom portion of the window. When you are done, make sure you Save your changes, and then press the Create Group button to actually create a group with those stores that meet the criteria.
After you have defined a store group and created it, you will have to periodically update the group with this function as your store list changes. If you make extensive use of this function to build store groups, you may want to regularly update the groups you create by returning to this function once per week and re-creating the groups. To recreate a group, select the group name, adjust the attribute list if necessary, and click on Create Group. The application will prompt you to delete the existing group and then rebuild a new version of the group.
