You can use the WebSphere Commerce catalog filtering features to restrict or limit the view of the catalog to a specific set of users within a hosted store. You can also use the Catalog Filter to exclude any of the products or categories in the master catalog that you do not want to sell at your specific store.
The Catalog Filter presents the master catalog as an aggregated tree view of all products and categories available for sale from the store. The Catalog Filter consists of three parts:
- The catalog tree, which you can use to include the catalog, categories, and products; exclude categories and products; apply percentage price adjustments to the entire catalog; and view the actual price (using the Calculate Price option) that customers will see for a product.
- The Include dialog, which displays when you include either the entire catalog, category, or product. The Include dialog allows you to set the percentage price adjustment for the catalog, category, or product that you are including for sale in the store.
- The Set Price Adjustment dialog, which displays when you choose to change the percentage price adjustment for the catalog, a category, or a product.
