Category groups

The Category groups node is used to create and manage attribute groups, which is to say collections of custom attributes for subsets of products. CategoryFields To create a new category group:

  1. Click New category group
  2. Provide a name and a system name
  3. Save

As you may know, you can add content to an attribute category in two ways;

  • By adding new fields to the category
  • By adding links to reference fields

To add a new field:

  1. Click New field
  2. Specify a name and a system name
  3. If relevant specify a templatetag for this field
  4. Select a field type
  5. Optionally provide a description - this description is shown under the product field when editing a product
  6. Optionally provide a validation pattern and a ValidationErrorMessage - see here

To add links to reference fields:

  1. Click link reference field
  2. Select a reference field group and a number of fields
  3. Click Select

If you're not sure when to do one over the other, please consult the attribute groups documentation.
