Understanding Collection Structures

Collection structures provide a way to define and organize the levels used by a particular collection. You can have up to five levels in a collection structure. Each level represents a different attribute for your collection. For example, the European Summer Collection might have the following levels: brands, product lines, and themes. You specify and organize these levels when you define the collection structure. One collection structure can be used by multiple collections. Use the Collection Structure Definition program (PCW06) to define your collection structures. The collection structure details, such as the possible levels, are stored in the Collection Structure Definition table (FCW05). You will attach your collection structure to your collection when you create your collection using the Collection Management program (PCW07).
