Setup: Configure product content structure

A content structure is about defining the metadata for the products that the client sells. How should their products be presented?

Required steps

• Create client and at least one application
• Create a product classification structure, specifically the category tree.

Preparations

To set up all product classifications there are some questions you need to know the answer for:

• What is the different attributes and properties that is important to model for the product catalog and for each category? And which should be filterable in navigations and searches?
• What type of relations between products and variants should be tracked? (Norce represents this with Product relation types and variant types)

How-to

• Go to Parametrics tab and create different attributes and properties, Name, Code and Type is needed
  (don't forget that you can have culture specific names of parametrics) More help in the user documentation here.
• Go to Categories tab and on each category add the parametrics and parametric groups needed. More help in the user documentation here.
• Go to the Variant types tab and create the variant types that is needed.
  See more here, and here.
• Go to the Relation types tab and create the relation types that is needed.

Further configuration

• Note the client settings, specifically
  • Product texts are variant unique, which sets up the build-in text fields on variant level as default.
