Configuring the Web Settings for the Full Product Listing Control

It is up to each client to determine the appropriate location of this page, and to create the menu item that will lead web users to this page. The section below details how to set up this control on your website. The instructions are intended for a web user with web admin/host privileges. In addition, this is a standalone control, which means that it has its own individual value, does not require another control in order for it to function, as well as it is not part of a specific workflow on the web. For more information, refer to the Standalone Controls section.

This control can be configured to be responsive to mobile users. After adding the responsive CSS to this page, your mobile phone user will see the control on the responsive page similar to the one shown below. For more information about using this control on a responsive page, please see Configuring Responsive CSS for the Full Product Listing Page.
