1. First you must create your gallery by going to Layout Gallery->Galleries. Create galleries for themes (like baby, christmas, birthdays) or by designer.

2. With your galleries created, you can now add Gallery Items. Go to Layout Gallery->Gallery Items.

3. Enter the following information.

Name - the title of the gallery item

Gallery - select which gallery this layout or idea page will go into from the dropdown box.

Description - this is a description of how the layout was created, and instructions on any special techniques that were used.

Author - the person who created the layout. This is often the Design Team member.

Small Image - the .jpg or .gif filename of the scanned image. Can be no larger than 72k in filesize. Recommend 35k for this smaller file.

Large Image - the .jpg or .gif filename of the scanned image. This is the larger image that is displayed when you click on the smaller thumbnail image. This image should be 72k in file size or less.

Click on "Save New Gallery Item" to save this image.

4. Once your gallery item has been saved, you will see an "Add Products" button. Clicking on this button will take you to a page where you can select products from your store, using several different search filters. The easiest is to locate your products by clicking on the Category/Subcategory dropdown, selecting a value then clicking on "Search". In the product list, you will see an "Add to Gallery Item" button you need to click for each product used in this layout. You continue this process until all of the products you want to list with your layout are selected.

Note: gallery links are automatically placed next to each product in the store catalog. A customer can "stumble" upon a gallery item just by browsing through your products, or they can go right into the Layout Gallery from the top menu.
