GM WEB TAGS

Web-Tags is a new webstore feature that allows customers to filter items within their webstore selections. For instance, if a customer accesses a clothing catalog, they may want to filter the items to only display the items that have the color and size they are looking for.

Web tag categories are the objects a user can select to filter on, e.g. Size, Color or Fabric and include a list of values such as Blue, Red, Large, Small, Cotton, or Polyester to filter on. These Blue, Red, Large, Cotton, etc. options are called tags.

Note: there is no required sequence for creating Web-Tags and categories. You can create a new category first or create the Web-Tags first

Web-tag category maintenance is used to manage what categories a tag is associated with or to.

Here are some naming conventions to follow

Underscores are converted to spaces DRESS_SHOES = DRESS SHOES
Special characters should not be used in naming Web-Tags or categories
Keep in mind, the names of the categories will be displayed as a drop down Keeping the names short will be ideal.

When attaching Web-Tags to a matrix item, the tag needs to be added to the Parent item only, do not add the tags to the child items.

Note: there is no required sequence for creating Web-Tags and categories. You can create a new category first or create the Web-Tags first
