The Categories concept allows you to sort products offered in your on-line store based on such groups. In addition to tags, it is thus another approach to sorting your on-line store content.

 

If any categories are already assigned to the product, a list of these categories is displayed, together with a category status and the Remove selected and Add categories buttons. If no categories are assigned, only the latter button is displayed. Please note that you can remove all listed items at once by clicking the icon and performing the Remove all action.

 

Assigning categories to the product

 

To add new categories to the product, you need to click the Add categories button and in the dialog window that pops up, select the categories from the categories tree. Only categories allowed for the current site together with personal categories of the user are displayed. To save the changes, click OK. Please note that the dialog window allows you not only to select categories but also perform standard category editing tasks:
