While setting your web-site, you have surely met some predefined drop-down lists such as a list of supported languages. With ViArt CMS you can customize your online online portal by editing all of them.

Please go to Administration > System > Static Tables. Your screen should look like the following:

Actually, the section contains a number of tables with predefined values used in different parts of the system. Most of them are very simple and shouldn't cause any difficulties.

• Product types are used when adding a new product.
• Manufactures are used when adding a new product; note that you can leave the 'Affiliate Code' field blank.
• Countries are used when providing customer's personal or delivery details (for more information see section 3.2.2). Note that you can set up country order (defines the sequence of countries in drop-down lists) and default currency (will be used for customers from this country).

• States are used if USA is selected.
• Credit Cards Types, Switch & Solo Issue Numbers, Credit Card Expiry Year and Credit Card Start Year are used when providing credit card details.
• Shipping Times and Shipping Rules are used when setting up product shipping options.
• Release Types and Change Types are used when adding a product release.
• Currencies define currencies that can be used on the site. Note that you can set the currency default as well as fix an exchange rate and a right/left symbol.


The currencies have an additional option that should be used for daily updating the currency rate. Click the link 'Update from currencysource.com' next to Add New Currency link and the link will update the currency rate. It is possible to set a script to run automatically every day to update your currency rates or alternatively you can do it manually by pressing the link.

• Companies are used when providing customer's personal details and allows keeping general information such as company name, logo, address, etc. Note that it will be displayed only in this section.
• Languages define languages that can be used on the site. Note that you can set the language sequence in the drop-down lists via language order. Keep in mind the ability to change the navigation images depending on the language used (see section 2.3.3). For more information about editing messages see section 4.6.
