The Search Categories screen displays, as shown below.
The Coded Search Categories section extends the functionality of keywords by allowing products to be queried by commonality. Where multiple products of the same type exist, the type is defined as the classification or category and the products may be defined within the classification.
The User Defined Search Keywords section associates common terms or phrases with the active product. The goal in creating keywords is to provide a useful utility for product searches over the Web. To improve search results, keywords should be general and have a logical connection to the product for which it is defined.
To define categories and keywords:
1. From the
Personify360 main toolbar, select Products > Product
Central.
The Product Maintenance search screen displays.
2. Click Search to find a product or click Create New Product.
3. From the
Relationships task category, click Categories and Keywords.
The Search Categories screen displays, as shown below.
4. In the Coded Search Categories section, click Add.
5. Select a Category from the drop-down.
6. As of
7.5.0, if necessary, click the Retrieve Image
to copy the image defined for the selected category.
This icon will display on the product listing and product detail page in
e-Business. If necessary, click the Clear
link to remove the image.
7. In the Sub Category section, click Add.
8. Select a Sub Category from the drop-down.
9. In the User Defined Search Keywords section, click Add and enter a Keyword.
10. Click Save.
