Administrator Tasks
As a Vending Manager administrator, you are responsible for administering all
features of the Vending Manager. The tasks include the tasks described in this
section as well as the tasks described in “Customer Care Agent Tasks” on page 205.
Administration tasks are performed through the Vending Manager administration
console. See “Accessing the Administration Consoles” on page 11 for information
.
Note When multiple Vending Manager administrators are performing Vending
Manager tasks simultaneously, some operations can take longer to complete than
expected. Also if the same item (for instance, a device, content, or bundle) is being
acted on concurrently by multiple administrators, problems could occur.
Managing Categories
To properly manage content, you must first create the categories that you want to
use. Categories are the logical containers that hold the content. You use categories on
the Vending Manager to control subscriber access to the content.
A default set of categories is provided with the Vending Manager. You can edit or
delete these categories. You can also add categories and subcategories. Only main
categories can have subcategories.
Adding a Category
1. From the Vending Manager administration console, click Content on the main
menu bar.
The Content Management page is displayed.
