Creating and Assigning Products with Constellation

How to create new products with Constellation and assign them to site(s).

Kahler Automation's Constellation has its own system for creating products in Terminal Management TMX. This process is divided into three steps: 1) creating the product; 2) assigning the product to a site or sites; and 3) creating the "Panel Bulk Product Settings" on the site. 

Step 1: Creating the Product in Constellation

After logging into Constellation (Found Here), access to the "Products" page via the navigation section on the left hand side of the screen, then click on the "Create Product" button at the top right of this page to start creating a new product.

At the "Create a Product" screen, fill in the requested information on the right column.

"Product Name" is a required field; This is how the product will be seen in Terminal Management TMX.

It is always recommended to provide as accurate a density value as possible to Constellation, and by extension Terminal Management TMX, so that the system is better able to fulfill orders.

If density should be controlled per site, select "TMX" as the Density Source.

The "EPA Number" field is optional; it may be skipped unless there are specific requirements that mandate this information.

The "Ticket Notes" field is also optional. Notes added here can be displayed on printed tickets if they are configured to do so in Terminal Management TMX.

Once all information is filled in, proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Assigning a Product to Site(s)

Determine what sites a product should be assigned to and select them on the right side of the "Create Product" dialogue as shown on the right side of the screenshot.

Step 3:  Creating the "Panel Bulk Product Settings" on the site

Once a product is assigned to a site, connect to Terminal Management TMX for the site or sites and set the "Panel Bulk Product Settings" so the product may be used in orders dispensed on the site. 

In Terminal Management TMX, click the Products link in the light blue menu bar, and then "Edit Existing Product" on the page displayed. 

From this screen, select the newly assigned product from the list to configure it in Terminal Management TMX

Note: The search bar shown below the "Edit Existing Product" button can make finding the product much easier if Terminal Management TMX has a large number of products. 

More information about the product configuration process can be found in the "Product Setup Tool" article starting in "Bulk Product Panel Settings", (link here)
