Item description can be added both in Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Sana Admin. If item description is present in Sana Admin, it will overwrite the item description from Microsoft Dynamics NAV. The difference is that the catalog manager in Sana Admin provides the HTML editor for the better text enrichment. Microsoft Dynamics NAV supports only plain text. Item description is shown on the product details page in the webshop.
The item description is shown on the product details page using the Product description and Short product description content elements. For more information, see Product Description.
Although you can add item description in Microsoft Dynamics NAV with the unlimited number of characters, keep in mind that when it is shown on the product details page in the web store, it is limited to 1024 characters. If you need to add product description which exceeds 1024 characters, you can add it in Sana Admin. Product descriptions added to Sana Admin are not limited.
While Microsoft Dynamics NAV allows you to add multiple lines of text for the item description, this information is displayed as a single line on the product details page in the Sana webshop. This means that it will not be split into lines as it is added to Microsoft Dynamics NAV, but will be displayed as a single text.
For more information about how to add product description in Sana Admin, see Product Pages.
