Administration Interface

Principles for using your site administration

The administration interface (back-office) of your Oxatis site is an online software, which you access through a simple Internet browser.

As with a traditional application, there is a navigation logic:

  1. You navigate within the administration interface using the links in the home dashboard and the drop-down menu.

The dashboard is the home page of the administration interface. It provides quick access to the most frequently used administrative functions: order management, design editing, products, etc.

These pages are also all accessible via the horizontal drop-down menu. These "shortcuts" are therefore intended for both experienced users of the solution and beginners, by offering them an "overview" of the main Oxatis features.


  1. These links lead to the different pages, each of which allows you to edit a specific feature of your site: a Component. You then access all the parameters of this component.

  2. These components are governed by basic parameters, called Properties and can often contain different Elements, sometimes arranged in Categories that allow them to be organised.

The vertical menu allows you to navigate between these different "families" of parameters. They appear in most of the components present in the Content, Catalogue, Customers,… menus.


  1. The buttons are indicated in grey. They allow you to access and edit the various parameters. Each time you change settings on your Oxatis site, you must validate these changes by clicking on "Save". When a page is large enough and occupies much more than the height of the screen, some buttons are repeated at the bottom of the screen for your comfort. You can click either the top or bottom buttons.

  2. You also have buttons to create new elements and navigate through the different pages displaying these elements. You are also free to filter them according to criteria that can be defined for each column and a button "Filter" allows you to access advanced search and sorting options.

When several elements are available in a component, they are displayed in the form of a table. At the end of each line of this table, several icons are displayed for each of the listed elements.


  1. By clicking on the icon [View properties] or [Edit properties] on the line of an element, you access the main parameters of this element.

The [View properties] icon should not be abandoned in favor of an exclusive use of the [Edit properties] button, because some features are only accessible from the Properties view, such as deleting items, additional images, suggestive sales, etc.

The editing/viewing of the properties of these elements is done by navigating through pages using specific Tabs and Sub-Tabs. By pressing "+", you can access all these parameters on a single page.

The administration menu

The drop-down menu for administration is organised logically, different from that of the dashboard:

  • __ Oxatis Logo__ : sends you to the dashboard.

  • Orders : displays order tracking as well as the "Add an order" feature and allows access to customer reviews.

  • Customers : concerns all registered users and clients on the site. It also provides access to the sales representatives, the GDPR registery as well as the Subscribe and Your Account components.

  • Catalogue : displays the functionalities related to trade: products, shop, catalogue, payment methods, shipping options and costs, discounts, etc.

  • Content : refers to all the files or images you will import into your site, as well as all the custom (static) pages you will create. Ready-to-use components such as the Blog, FAQ, Events… and the Store locator… include all the "dynamic" parts of your site that are not related to your business activity. "Dynamic" means that the layout is automatically generated by the solution, and that they can be easily updated from the administration. Sometimes, as with the Testimonials component, their content can be entered by visitors to your site.

  • Marketing : concerns everything related to the promotion of your site as well as the exports from the item database.

  • Analytics : includes site activity tracking, number of visits, conversion rate and campaign tracking.

  • Configuration : focuses on site settings, the home page, menus, design, mobile version, domains and emails,… and provides access to other features grouped in a single page.

  • Apps : applies to installed and uninstalled Apps and allows you to add more.

  • Support : provides tools to make it easier for you to use the solution. Access our online documentation, contact our technical support in writing free of charge and unlimited.

  • Account: includes the administrative part on the site owner, payment properties, invoices and subscription.

To-do List

The to-do list is displayed under the home dashboard. It can be opened or closed by means of the small button at the top right of the corresponding section.
As you work on the various elements and components of your site, you are free to define a progress report. A progress report allows you to both "hide" elements from site visitors if they are not completed, and to know what tasks need to be completed in your site.


In the general task schedule, only those components on which work remains to be completed are displayed. By clicking on the Browse button […] in front of each component, you will be directed directly to the element on which you plan to complete some work.

The Preview button

The "Preview" icon at the top right of the page allows you to preview your site in a new window at any time.


Subscription options

Regardless of the subscription plan you have chosen, you have the same administration interface. The system simply notifies you when you access the edition of a component, if it is not available with your subscription package. For most features, you are free to configure and try them out via the preview before you even add them to your subscription.
