Business Desk Allows Duplicate Names for Content Sizes (275929)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Commerce Server 2002
  • Microsoft Commerce Server 2000

This article was previously published under Q275929

SYMPTOMS

The Commerce Server 2000 Business Desk allows you to enter duplicate Name values for Content Sizes. However, the Business Desk does not allow duplicate Tag values.

CAUSE

Commerce Server 2000 Business Desk does not check for Name value duplication.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in Commerce Server 2000.

MORE INFORMATION

Although you can create multiple Content Sizes with the same Name value, this does not impact the usability of the Business Desk. When you create a new advertisement, the list of Content Sizes contains multiple entries with the same name. As a result, if you create multiple Content Sizes with the same height and width, you cannot distinguish between the two sizes, and some of your advertisements do not appear as expected.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Start the Commerce Server Business Desk for your site. Click Campaigns, and then click Reference Tables.
  2. Create a new Content Size with the following values:

    Tag: half1
    Name: Half Size
    Width: 1
    Height: 1

    and click Accept.
  3. Create a new Content Size with the following values:

    Tag: half2
    Name: Half Size
    Width: 1
    Height: 1

    and click Accept.
  4. Click Save to save both Content Sizes. If you create a new advertisement, you cannot distinguish between the two sizes because both are displayed as Half Size (1 x 1) in the Content Size list.
