Concepts
-
You can relate one item to another, or one item to many other items, of many kinds.
-
For example:-
- a product can be related to one or more categories
- an article can be related to one or more products
- a product may have many related products for "You may also like..." listings
-
For example:-
-
You can unrelate items - in some cases this will also delete the item
- Removing a relationship does not delete the related item if the related item was created elsewhere - for example a Product related to a Category (the Category is used elsewhere)
- Removing a relationship to an item created in the Relate tab, deletes the item - for example a Product Variant created for a Product is deleted (the Product Variant is only used for this product and has no other use)
- You will be warned about this before the item is deleted
Choosing
To relate items select the Relate tab. You will see sub-tabs of all the items that have been related to this kind of item before. Pick one, then click Choose.
- The Chooser will open.
- Tick or untick items to relate or unrelate them respectively.
- Close the Chooser. You don't need to SAVE.
