 ====== Specials ======
-There are 2 important concepts to understand about Specials, Specials and Codes. A Special is the statement and outline of the offer. It states what the offer includes and the type of offer. A Code is the trigger entered by users to apply that code to the items associated with the Special. A Code can modify the price or percentage of the Special and connect the Code with a specific store and vendor. Codes have beginning and ending dates.
+There are 2 important concepts to understand about Specials, Specials and Codes. A Special is the statement and outline of the offer. It states what the offer includes and the type of offer. When a Special is created, it is assigned to a store. This does not limit where it can be used it is merely a tracking tag. A Code is the trigger entered by users to apply that code to the items associated with the Special. A Code can modify the price or percentage of the Special and connect the Code with a specific store and vendor. Codes have beginning and ending dates. An Exclusion can be added to a Code so that it cannot be used at a certain store.

-There is a flaw in the search feature when a Special has more than 5000 Codes assigned, the Codes cannot be opened for editing.
+If you click on the plus sign to the right of "Coupon Codes" it will expand a list of all the codes that have been added to that Special. There is a flaw in the search feature when a Special has more than 5000 Codes assigned, the Codes cannot be opened for editing. You will see a spinning icon if it disappears and no codes are displayed that means there are too many codes assigned.
 Double click on one of the Specials on the results list to open that Special.

 The names of the Component Group only apply to that special and can be anything that describes that Group.
-There is an exception for Entire Order Specials. Because those codes apply to any full priced Item Size on the menu you create the Special with a Component Group called "Entire Order" and then delete the Item Size you added to create the "Entrire Order" Group. This gives you a Component Group with no Item Sizes listed.

+=== Available Upgrades ===
+A Component Group can have an Upgrade. This is for Specials like 1M 1T @ $9.99 and you want to allow the customers to Upgrade to a large for $4 more. Upgrades are store specific and the Upgrade added in Admin will only be available at the store that is selected. [The selected store is the store in parentheses next to Change Store in the navigation menu.] If it is desired to have an Upgrade available on a Special at all stores it can be done by running a query in the database. Right click "Available Upgrades" to "Add an upgrade to this component group."
+  * New Upgrade
+    * Category - The Category of the Item to be added for the Upgrade of the Component Group.
+    * Item - The Item to be the Upgrade of the Component Group.
+    * Size - The size of the Item to be the Upgrade of the Component Group.
+    * Free Toppings - The number of toppings included within the price of the Upgrade.
+    * Upgrade Price - The additional amount the customer will pay to get the Upgrade.
