Procedure

  1. Open the Catalogs tool.

  2. From the explorer filter, select Sales Catalog Categories.

  3. Click File > New > Sales Catalog. The New Sales Catalog Properties view displays.

  4. Expand the General Catalog Information section. Complete the following information:

    Option Description
    Code The unique identifier for the catalog.
    Name The name of the sales catalog.
    Short description Type a brief description of the category. This field is not displayed by default in the list view. To display the field as a column in a list view, right-click on a column heading in the list view and click Configure Columns.
    Long description Type a detailed description, if applicable. This field is not displayed by default in the list view.

    To display the field as a column in a list view, right-click on a column heading in the list view and click Configure Columns.

  5. Expand the Display section. Complete the following information:

    Option Description
    Thumbnail Type the path to the thumbnail image and the name of the image, such as ../images/shirt.jpg. All image files must be placed in the store's defined image directory. Determining the correct image directory and whether you need an absolute or relative path depends on the store's configuration. For example, the WebSphere Commerce starter store images use a relative path pointing to the default installation directory under the store name. Use of a relative path is most common. Use of an absolute path is dependent on the initial configuration. Ask a store developer with Site Administrator authority for the correct image directory if you are unsure. The forward slash (/) must be used as the directory separator.
    Full image Type in the relative path to the full image. The forward slash (/) must be used as the directory separator.

  6. Click Save and Close, or click Close.
