Web Syndication Management — Product Tour

Full walkthrough

1. Web Syndication Management is reached from Market → Microsites in the left menu, then Manage Showcases. This is View Showcases, the hub for every showcase assigned to you or created by you. Each showcase is a ready-to-embed content unit that extends your product and brand presence onto your own external website.
2. Sort By reorders the library by Showcase Name, Created On or Modified On. Search Web Syndication filters by keyword, and Filter applies more targeted criteria.
3. Filter opens the standard side panel of narrowing criteria. Press Next and we'll open it.
4. The standard filter panel slides in from the right. Basic filters each showcase column — Campaign, Showcase Name, Country, Languages, Created By and Status — with an operator and a value, Advance builds multi-row criteria, and the filter can be named and saved for reuse. Apply runs it against the list; Clear resets it.
5. Assigned to You holds showcases the OEM has made available for you to activate — only Preview and Set Up are offered there. Created by You is your own set of showcases, which additionally expose Edit, Delete and Launch.
6. List View is the current layout: each showcase as a row with its name, description and Created by attribution, and every action button visible — Preview and Set-Up among them.
7. Thumb View shows the same library as cards. Press Next and we'll switch to it.
8. Thumb View renders each showcase as a card — the three-dot action menu at the top, the campaign image below it, then the campaign name, the Web Syndication Campaign label and the showcase name as a link into Set-Up. No action buttons sit on the card itself.
9. The three-dot icon at the top of the card holds every action — Set-Up and Preview, and on Created by You also Edit, Delete and Launch. Press Next and we'll open it.
10. Preview opens the showcase in a new browser tab exactly as it will appear on an external website, so you can check its content, layout and branding before you set it up. Nothing is changed by previewing.
11. Set-Up, the first entry in the same menu, opens the Set-Up Web Syndication workflow for this showcase. Press Next and we'll open it.
12. Step 1 shows Country, Language, Campaign Type and Campaign as read-only values. They are populated by the OEM and cannot be edited here, which keeps the syndication deployed within the correct program and market.
13. Step 2 carries the identity of this instance: the Web Syndication Name and the Unique URL Extension that distinguishes it from every other syndication you run.
14. Select Web Syndication opens the template picker alongside those two fields. Press Next and we'll open it.
15. Every available template is shown as a thumbnail card with a radio selector, next to the editable Name and Unique URL Extension. Choose a template and Save confirms the selection, returning you to the wizard with the Template value updated.
16. Step 3 lists the pages that make up the showcase — Contact, Documents, Products and Home — each with a toggle to include it in, or exclude it from, the live syndication.
17. Click a page name to open it in the work area. Press Next and we'll open it.
18. The inline WYSIWYG editor exposes editable regions for text, images and layout, and expands to full screen for detailed work. Save commits the page content; Cancel discards it.
19. Step 4 — Save Web Syndication commits your configuration and finalizes the showcase. Press Next and we'll save it.
20. Preview Web Syndication opens a live render so you can verify the content and the page toggles before you generate the embed code.
21. Step 5 — Web Syndication Code Generation appears once the showcase is saved.
22. Generate Code opens the code-generation panel. Press Next and we'll open it.
23. Name labels the generated code, Partner Website Embed URL is the page on your site where it will live, and Code Type is either Javascript or iFrame. Save generates it.
24. The Generated Code text box holds the snippet, and Copy to Clipboard grabs it for pasting into your website — the width and height attributes can be adjusted to fit the page it sits on. Save the embed URL as well; you'll need it when linking email campaign templates to this showcase.
25. That completes Web Syndication Management: browsing and filtering the showcase library across List and Thumb views, previewing a showcase, the five-step Set-Up wizard with template selection and page editing, and generating the embed code ready to install on your own website.

Questions about this tour

How does web syndication work in ZINFI?

A partner browses a showcase library in List or Thumbnail view, previews a showcase, runs a five-step set-up to pick a template and edit each page, then generates an embed code to install on their own website. Vendor content then appears on the partner's site and stays current.

What is the embed code used for?

The generated embed code is pasted into a page on the partner's own website. The showcase renders there, so the partner keeps their domain and layout while the vendor content is served and maintained centrally.

Can a partner control which content appears in a showcase?

Yes. The set-up workflow includes template selection and page-by-page editing, so the partner decides which pages and products the showcase presents before generating the embed.

How long does the ZINFI Web Syndication Management tour take?

About 8 minutes at a normal pace — 25 guided steps through the Web Syndication Management module, part of the ZINFI Unified Partner Management (UPM) platform under the Market pillar. The tour is self-paced and can be left and restarted from the beginning.

Do I need an account to take the Web Syndication Management tour?

No. There is no sign-up and no demo call. The tour runs in the live interface on sandbox records, so nothing you click changes real data, and you can exit at any step.
