To hide a category in your catalog so that it does not display to customers, for example, if the category contains out of season merchandise, do the following:
- Open the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.
From the Merchandise menu, click Categories.
From the Products menu, click Categories.
A category tree for the catalog displays. If you do not see this menu, then your logon ID does not have the appropriate authority to perform this task. Contact your Site Administrator.- Open the Change Category notebook by highlighting the category that you want to change, and click Change.
- The General page displays. Clear the Display to customers check box.
- Click OK to hide the category and close the notebook.
Notes:
- The status of the Display to customers check box is language
specific; that is, if the category is offered at a French store and a Japanese
store, and you want to hide the category at both stores, you must clear the
Display to customers check box for each store. To work in another
language, click the
icon, found in the upper left corner.
- You can switch to a different language only if you are authorized to work with more than one of the WebSphere Commerce supported languages and if the language is available.
- If the changes to the catalog data do not display, the Site Administrator may need to disable caching or remove the currently cached JSP pages.
