How to set up catalog levels

You can set up catalog levels by certain grouping criteria, for example, by category and type. To do this, use the [Set up product catalog] in the actions menu of the [Products] section.

Once the [Set up product catalog] action is selected, the page that displays the list of the set up catalog levels opens (Fig. 1).

• Name – catalog level name that is displayed in the list pf the catalog setup page.

Product field – product page field, which is used for product categorization on this level of cat­alog. For example, select the [Category] field so that the catalog folders on this level corre­spond to the product categoriesNote

Only lookup fields on the product page can be used to create catalog levels.

This catalog item hierarchy is defined by the sequence in which the levels are located on the setup page. For example, to group the products by type on the upper level of the catalog, then move the “Product type” level up by using the button on the setup page.

Note

The catalog structure will display only those items for which there are records in bpm’online . For example, if the “Hardware” category contains no products, then the “Hardware” item will not be displayed in the catalog structure.
