Manage Categories

 

This page is designed to help you manage your product categories: add, delete, sort, move them to another category, and edit their attributes.

 

Toolbar Description

Current Category

This line shows the category you are currently working with, as a complete path starting from the top-level store category. You can go to any category in the path (and display its contents) simply by clicking it.

Subcategories

Shows the list of categories contained within the current category. Categories are listed in the same order that they appear in the storefront. You can go to any subcategory in the list (and display its contents) simply by clicking it. The category name will be added to the path.

Subcategory ID

Displays the unique number that the system assigned to the category after adding it to the store.

Products

This column shows the number of products contained in a category and all its subcategories.

Included Categories

Shows the number of subcategories contained in a category.

Possible Actions
You can view or edit attributes of any category in the list of subcategories. You can also move or delete any category in the list, including its contents. To perform any of these actions, first select the necessary category with a radio button in front of it and then click the appropriate button – Info, Edit, Move, or Delete. In either case, a window will pop up with further instructions.

You can also quickly edit the attributes of the current category, without having to go back to it in the path. Just click the Edit Current Category or Edit Home Category button.

You can also create a new subcategory of the current category (that is, add it to the displayed list). To do so, click the Add Category button and follow the instructions.

You can also change the order in which the subcategories appear in the list and in the storefront. To do so, click the Sort button. A window will pop up with further instructions.
