Winner is delivered without any pre-installed catalogues. To see a searchable catalogue list showing which catalogues are available please go to our website https://www.compusoftgroup.com.
Once you have decided which catalogues you would like adding to your account, request them via the customer portal, you will then be notified by Support when they have been added. For more information see How to request a catalogue
Note: Some catalogues need permission from the manufacturer before being added to your account.
To add catalogues to the Winner software you need to download them. To install catalogues and software updates for Winner, please watch the video (containing audio narration) or follow the instructions below.
- At Project level, click on Register in the top menu bar.
- Select Download catalogues / updates.
- In the Choose what to download window, catalogues ready to update or download will be automatically ticked.
NOTE! Do not do Winner updates at the same time as catalogues. Download and install the Winner update on its own.
- If you wish to choose what to download, click Reset then tick individual catalogues.
- Click Download to download all selected.
- Click OK to continue.
Note: You can follow the status of the download in real time at the bottom right of your screen.
- When the status Download completed is shown in the bottom right of your screen, close Winner.
- Re-open Winner and an Update window is shown. To confirm the installation of the downloaded catalogues, click Yes.
Note: The previous catalogue version is still retained in your database. Therefore it is recommended that you occasionally delete the old versions, using the multiple delete function, so that your database does not get overloaded and crash. See article How to delete catalogues
- Wait for the progress window to complete this shows whilst Winner installs the downloaded catalogues and updates.
Note: Whilst downloading catalogues you can continue to work in Winner, but when catalogues are installing you cannot work in Winner.
In Flex catalogues and catalogue indexes are shared companywide. It is not possible to have individual catalogue settings per shop, unless you have CMC. - The catalogue information window will open for each catalogue you installed, once you have read the information click Close.
- The indexing window will now open. IMPORTANT! When a catalogue has been installed you will be required to approve the Cost and Sales index for the new catalogue. This means pricing the catalogue - setting the cost of items to you and the price you will be selling them for. You will be unable to use the downloaded catalogues in a plan until you have confirmed the indexes. For instructions on how to do this see article How can I setup my cost and sales index?
