Products can be grouped together in categories. When an order is placed the user can view the available products in each category and select the required product. Products that are organized into categories are easier to use than a long list of all the available products. Products are assigned to one category, they can not appear in more than one category. If a product is not assigned to a category it will be listed on the web page under a tab named 'No category'.
 | If you use Global products any products assigned to a category will only be available for the portal that they are assigned too. If they are needed in more than one portal another product with a different name will need to be created. See the section on Creating New Products From an Existing Product for more information, |
To view Product Categories:
| 1. | Log in with Administrator rights and go to Admin. |
| 2. | In the Products section click Product Categories. |
| 3. | A window opens showing the product categories and products available to the portal. If you have just added products to the portal you will see the same window. |

| 2. | Click  to remove the category. All products assigned to the deleted category will be listed in the Products not in any category column. The products will need to be assigned to another category. |

| 2. | Select a product that has not been assigned to a category. |

When you add or remove products from a category always click before you select another product category.
