A product is a navigational end-point in the catalog. This section describes the properties you are required to fill in when you are creating a product. It also describes two non-required properties that you should consider setting now:
Decide where your product will reside initially: in a part of the catalog hierarchy visible in Catalog view or as an unlinked item visible in Unlinked Catalog Items view. If you don’t specify a location, your product becomes an unlinked item.
Supply a name to the
Management Display Nameproperty that will represent the product in the ATG Merchandising Navigation pane only. If you do not provide aManagement Display Name, a system generated ID will be used. (Custom Catalogs only)
To create a new product:
In Catalog view or Unlinked Catalog Items view of the Browse tab, click Create New and choose Product. To learn how to access these views, see Catalog View or Unlinked Catalog Items View.
Specify the product’s location in the hierarchy by adding, replacing, or removing a parent using the Select Parent and Clear buttons on the top right of the Details pane. A parent is preselected if you see an asset name beside Select Parent.
Add or replace a parent by clicking Select Parent and, once the Select an Item dialog box opens, clicking the radio button beside your preferred parent. Click OK.
Remove a parent by clicking Clear beside SelectParent.
Enter a name for the product in the Name text box (Required).
If you are using Custom Catalogs, provide a name in the Management Display Name text box that will represent the product in the Navigation pane.
