Product Categories
Product Categories lists the sections you have created inside a product group, such as Shared versus Reseller hosting, so customers can browse a shorter list.
Opening the Screen
Open the product group you want, from the sidebar or from Product Groups, and click Categories above its product list: {admin}/products/hosting/categories
The Create New Category button above the list opens the same form used to edit an existing category. It only appears for accounts holding the product group editing privilege.
What Is on the Screen
One table, one row per category in this group. The heading above it always reads Categories, whichever group you opened it from; the breadcrumb above the heading names the group. The Title column opens the category's own settings form; URL opens the category's live catalogue page in a new tab.
| Column | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Title | Category name. Opens the category's settings form. |
| Parent Category | Opens the parent's live catalogue page in a new tab. Blank for a top-level category. |
| URL | Live catalogue link for the category, opens in a new tab. |
| Products | Products filed directly in the category. Sortable. |
| Services | Client services sold from it. Sortable. |
| Created | Date the category was added. Sortable, newest first by default. |
| Status | Active or Inactive. |
| Actions | Row menu: Edit, Delete. |
The row menu's Edit opens the same settings form as the Title link. A selection column and the Apply to Selected list above the table appear only for accounts holding the product group editing privilege.
Fields
Tasks
Editing a Category
- Click the category's name, or open the row's action menu and choose Edit.
- Change any field on the settings form and click Save Changes.
- The form stays open with the new values in place.
Deleting Categories
- Tick the categories to remove, or open a single row's action menu and choose Delete.
- For a selection, choose Delete from Apply to Selected and confirm. Removing more than one category at once also asks for your account password.
- The rows disappear from the list.
Things to Watch
Removing a category deletes only that entry. Products filed in it stay in place, without a category. A sub-category nested underneath keeps its own products, but shows no parent once the category above it is gone.
Required Privileges
Opening this screen needs either View (PRODUCTS_LOOK) or Edit (PRODUCTS_OPERATION) on products. Creating, editing, and deleting a category all need Edit (PRODUCTS_GROUP_OPERATION) on product groups.
