Building Catalog Hierarchies

---

Catalog hierarchies determine the structure and navigation paths of catalogs. Hierarchies are built and modified using the buttons in the Categories list. Table 10 shows the four buttons that are used to promote, demote, move up, and move down categories.

Table 10. Buttons For Modifying Category Hierarchies

To create subcategories

Navigate to Catalog Administration.

The Catalogs list appears.

Click the name of a catalog whose hierarchy you wish to modify.

The Categories list displays the categories belonging to that catalog.

Use the move up and move down buttons to place a category you wish to make a subcategory beneath the category you wish to make its parent.
With the child category selected, click the demote one level button.

The subcategory appears in a tree as a node below its parent. The tree can be expanded and collapsed.

Arrange other categories below the parent category as necessary.
Select each category in turn and click the demote one level button.

The subcategories are placed in the tree below the other subcategory. The Sequence field can be used to display the subcategories in the correct order on the Categories page and on the Siebel eSales Web site.

Use the buttons as necessary to extend the catalog hierarchy.

Subcategories are displayed under categories on the Siebel eSales Web site in ascending order by sequence, and then in alphabetical order by display name.
