With the conventional list layout, it is possible to organize products based on their categories. However, there is one catch. It is not possible to assign a product to multiple categories.
Overcoming this, now we have the tag layout where it is possible for a product to be assigned to multiple categories.
Steps to be followed:
- Create tags that you wish to link with the product.
- Create a product and add the tags to the product.
- Create menus and link the tags with the respective menus.
Scenario
Products like Coffee mugs should be available under two categories- Kitchen appliances and Gifts.
Steps to be done:
- Create two tags:GiftsKitchen appliances
- Create a product named coffee mugs.
- Assign both the tags to the product article.
- Create menu items of the type Product tag view:Kitchen appliances associating the tag kitchen appliancesGifts associating the tag Gifts
- Now the product coffee mugs will be available in both Kitchen appliances and Gifts.
Likewise, we can assign products to as many categories as we wish.
