Ultra Commerce offers the ability to create Categories that can then be assigned to products if desired.

• Navigate to the Categories listing
• Create a Category
  • Child Category tab - view or add a child category
  • Settings tab

 

Navigate to the Categories listing

• Click on Marketing from the Ultra Commerce toolbar.
• Select Categories from the drop-down.

 

 

The Categories listing screen will appear.

Each entry in the Category Listing consists of three parts: a Name, Restrict Access, and Allow Product Assignment.

 

Add a Category

If you would like to add a category to the listing:

• Click the blue +Add Category button in the upper right corner of the listing

The Create Category page will appear.

 

Below are the fields to set:

• Category Name - Add a name for your category
• Restrict Access (Yes/No) - In order to make portions of your site subscription-only, you must restrict access to them. One way to do this is by category. Restricting Access to a category makes it available for inclusion in subscriptions; if it is not restricted, subscription is unneeded to access the content and thus it will automatically be included in all subscriptions unless manually excluded. Note: all Categories automatically are available for exclusion from subscription benefits regardless of their restriction settings.
• Allow Product Assignment (Yes/No) 
  In order to attach a product to a category select Yes or select No if you don't want to allow product assignment.
   
• Active Yes or No - setting to yes allows it to be used on the back-end.
• Published - Yes or No This will determine if shows up on the front-end.
• Parent Category - If the Category should nest below another category, you can select it from here.
• Click Save.

Now you can see your Category detail page with some additional tabs for more information about the category.

 

Child Categories tab

This is a place where you can quickly add categories that should nest below the category you are viewing. Just click the +Add Category button and follow the instructions above for creating a category.

 

Settings tab

The settings tab has many settings that can be managed for the Category.
