To create a new collection:
On the Catalog tab, click the New Collection button.
Fill in the property fields in the New Collection screen.
To make the collection a child of another collection, select a collection in the Change Parent drop-down list.
Note: To make the collection non-navigable, select
/Non-Navigable.Click Save.
The following table describes the properties for a collection:
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Name (required) | Short, descriptive name that identifies the collection. Collection names do not have to be unique. |
Collection ID (required) | The ID that identifies the collection internally. Each collection ID must be unique within your catalog. |
Description | A short description to display with the collection. |
Long Description | Detailed descriptive text to display with the collection. The long description is created with an HTML editor called CKEditor that you can use to edit and apply rich-text formatting. |
Selected Parent | The collection’s current parent. You cannot edit this field. If you are creating a new collection, this field is blank. |
Change Parent | Lets you select a new parent for the collection. To select a parent collection, begin by typing or pasting some text in the Change Parent box. The filter matches letters or numbers that you type, wherever they appear in the collection name or ID (not including the full path), not just at the beginning. Usually, as you type more characters, there are fewer matches. |
Status | Specifies whether the collection is displayed on your store. Active: The collection is displayed on your store. Inactive: The collection is not displayed on your store. This is the default setting for new root collections. Inherited from parent: The collection’s status is the same as its parent. This is the default setting for new child collections. |
