Categories serve as the organizational hierarchy for products within a webstore. In this section of Znode, administrators can create and edit categories, which can then be associated with any existing product. Additionally, categories can be linked to a catalog through the Catalogs section of the Product Information Management (PIM) system.

Administrators have access to several filtering options to streamline category management. One useful option is the “Catalog” filter, which allows administrators to filter categories based on their association with a specific catalog.

Working with Categories

Category creation is a multi-step process that involves several sections of Znode. To create and associate a category, administrators will need to navigate through more than one area of the platform.

• Steps 1 and 2 are completed in the Categories section.
• Steps 3 and 4 are then carried out in the Catalogs section.
