Managing Category Content Views

Each catalog category can be assigned one or more content views, i.e., pages and/or includes. Generally, pages and includes are subject to content management, see Content Management. Assignments of pages and includes are controlled by catalog managers using the Content tab of the Category dialog.

The Content tab is divided into two sections:

  • Pages: Lists the category pages assigned to the current category.

  • Includes: Lists the includes assigned to the current category.

Available tasks for this topic can be found here:
