Viewing category hierarchies

The Category Hierarchy View window offers a path (breadcrumb trail) view type. The initial view shows the top level root category and any other category at the same level.

You can also view the direct children by clicking the Category Name link to open and display the direct descendents of the category selected. Each time you open a branch, the top level category is added to the navigation path. You must navigate through each level one at the time to find the category you want to work with.

To return to a previously explored branch, click the category name link in the navigation path section. This will close the current branch and shows the descendents for the category selected.

You can perform the following task on the Category Hierarchy View window:

• View active categories, inactive categories, or both, and see their position within the currently selected category hierarchy
• Launch the Category Details view
• Inactivate the category hierarchy, categories and category relationships
• Add categories to the hierarchy
• Edit the category hierarchy details
• Edit localized content for the category hierarchy
