Navigating the Admin Control Panel

The Admin Control Panel (ACP) is the central location for all modules and tools in eCellar, accessible from any computer with internet access. 

Manage all data for customers, products, orders, shipping rates, wine club, allocation and email campaigns with flexibility and efficiency. 

Access the point-of-sale and reservations calendar to easily place orders and review and create appointments.

Navigating the Header Tools

  • Quick Search is a fast tool to quickly locate a customer record or an order detail. Learn more about Quick Search in this Article >
  • The Server number displays in the upper right corner.  Typically, a user's session will remain on the same server until your next login.  It can be helpful to take note of your Server ID when reporting an issue to the Support Team. 
  • Get Help! Use the Help to find the eCellar online knowledge base, the Help Center. (You're here now!)
  • For most clients, the name of your Brand will display in the upper left corner too.  And for Enterprise clients, users with special permissions may also have a drop-down selector to choose a sub-brand.

The toolbar can be found on all pages within the ACP for easy navigation between modules and tools.  Each menu option available within the toolbar is based on the user permissions enabled for each active user account.  Learn more about User Permissions in this Article >
