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.
