Mark,
New Catalogs
This week, we have the winter catalogs from Harper and Norton, as well as new catalogs from Moody and Tyndale.  Links are provided in the new catalogs section further along in the email.

We Have a Winner!
Hay House also announced the winner of its "Log In and Load Up" promotion for Edelweiss users.  The lucky recipient of $1,000 of free merchandise (just for using Edelweiss!) is Cheryl Lucas from Crystal Books and Gifts in Grand Junction, Colorado.  Congratulations, Cheryl!

Introducing Collections
Publishers - You really want to check out our new feature called Collections.  This allows you to create your own title groupings very much like catalogs within Edelweiss and share with others.  Many of you have asked for this, and once again we listened.  See the info on this exciting new feature further along in the email.

New Features: Collections
FeatureLast week, we made a big addition to the ways that publisher users can browse and use catalogs. You will notice that now within the Browse tab, there are now 'sub-tabs' for Our Catalogs, All Catalogs, and Collections. The default is Our Catalogs, which your company's catalog and this area is exactly the same as the prior main browse page. However, if you go to All Catalogs you can now browse other publishers' catalogs.

The third tab, Collections is a new feature whereby publisher users can build their own list of titles (collections) than can behave just like a catalog. Once you have created a collection, you can mark it up, share it, etc. This is particularly useful for publishers with lots of catalogs, and for reps working with specialty accounts, or really anyone that wants to build their own list of titles. Read about how to use this feature here.

blossomNew GeoSearch Matches Now in Your Weekly Email

We know that you have seen GeoSearch by now, right?  We've received positive feedback for this new feature that allows you to search for titles and authors based on geographic criteria.  Starting in this email, we'll be adding a link to newly found title matches in your area based on the city and state we have listed for your organization and a default radius in miles that we've assigned.

Scroll down to the last section of this email to see your results for this week.

We hope this new customized weekly listing, along with our usual new catalog and drop-ins listings, will be helpful for you.  If you don't have any results, it may be that we don't have a city and state captured for you in our system.  You also won't receive GeoSearch updates if you are not registered for Edelweiss under the email address where you receive this weekly email update.

We can customize the location and radius by user if you'd rather not have your organization's default settings.  We can also update your city/state if it is missing.  Email geosearch@abovethetreeline.com to request configuration changes or if you have any questions or problems.

Cheers,

Mark

New Features: Ordering Enhancements for Readers and Publishers
We've added a few enhancements to make ordering via Edelweiss even easier for both retailers and publishers.  These are items that have been requested by a number of users, so we hope you like them!
Publishers

Rep Order Enhancements:  We've just rolled out several key new features for reps that will help you more effectively manage your accounts' orders in Edelweiss, particularly when it comes to ordering displays/pack items, related products, and other backlist that doesn't happen to be listed in Edelweiss.
 
  • Add a Line Item to your account's order on your Export Preview screen.   
  • Quickly access all Related Products on the Export Preview screen by clicking on the red flag (blossom).
  • New "Rep Override" unit field that can be added to any custom order export. Edit the order quantity for that title on your version of your account's order without updating their order.  Perfect for adjusting displays for the publisher order without affecting retailer view of their order.
  • New "Order Form" Download Format available to all reps.  This export format includes the most commonly used fields and was designed so reps no longer have to create their own custom export to download their accounts' orders.      
Readers and Retailers

Easy accessibility to Related Products on the Export Preview Screen:  Retailers also now have the same quick access as reps do to all Related Products that exist in Edelweiss for the titles already in their order.  Click the red flag () next to any title to expand your view of these related products and confirm whether they're already in your order, or Add them to it if you need to.

For more detail and information on any of the above, check our New Feature Notes posting.

New Catalogs from Disney, Harper (December mass), and IPS (O'Reilly & Partners).  Also, the usual handful of drop-ins.


Retailers and Readers:

Add/Remove Order Line Items:   We've heard this request from several of you:  wishing you could more easily add and delete line items to an existing order. Ask, and you shall receive!  Now you can more efficiently delete individual order records, as well as add any title that's in Edelweiss (or simply in print!) to your order directly on the export preview screen.  Learn more about this added functionality in the Readers/Retailers Help article on Editing Orders.


Stay cool,

Mark

Greetings!
Some great new catalogs posted over the past week, including the first batch of Perseus catalogs for Fall 2010.  We also have some mass and manga from Hachette, and a Christian-interest compilation from Penguin/Putnam.

Also, we had a handful of drop-ins and these are listed below.

Creating a Treeline Watch List
with Edelweiss Titles
 
This week, we wanted to pass along a handy tip for our Treeline stores who use Edelweiss.  Did you know that you can copy a list of ISBNs from Edelweiss and paste them directly into one of your Treeline Watch Lists?  Then you'll have access to those titles on most feature screens in Treeline Analytics, including Top Not Yet Released, where you can track your marketplace ordering stats.   
 
  • First, create a Watch List in Treeline
  • In Edelweiss, create an Excel list of all of the ISBNs you want to add to that Watch List.  If your order export file is already in Excel, you can simply use that.  Or, if the titles are not in any one order ~ for instance, if they're in a single catalog, or if you've tagged a bunch of future marketing titles, bring them up so they appear together in a single List View, select them all, and under the Actions Menu, Export them into an Excel-based order format; iPage is a very basic one that's available to everyone.
  • Then copy all of the ISBNs from that Excel list and paste them into the Add Titles (to a Watch List) box.
  • To access that Watch List from other Treeline screens, click on the Filter? No link on the main Watch List page to make that Watch List Filter = "Yes".
 
For detailed instructions with screen shots, check out our Helparticle located here.
