Product Links

On the "Links" tab of products, you can establish links for

products
in catalogs based on attributes. This means you can link products by a specific criterion, for example, establishing a link for all black phones.

Main Interface Elements​

The list of created links is presented in a table consisting of three columns:

  • "Name" - the name of the link
  • "Marker" - the unique
    Marker
    of the link
  • "Actions" - actions available for each link. The following actions are provided:

    • eye

      Hide - hides the link from users of your site or application, but does not delete it from the admin panel.

    • edit

      Edit - opens the link editing page.

    • remove

      Delete - removes the link.

The link creation form contains two input fields:

  • "Name" - a required field where you must enter the name of the link;
  • "Marker" - a required field where you must enter a unique
    Marker
    of the link (only Latin letters and the symbols "_" and "-" are allowed for input);

and an "Add" button, which adds the created link if the data in the "Name" and "Marker" input fields is valid.

When you click the "Edit" button, the link editing page opens. This page consists of the following sections:

  • Editing the "Name" field
  • Editing the "Marker" field
  • Creating conditions for the link
  • List of added conditions
  • List of found catalog items based on the specified conditions

The block for creating conditions for the link contains three input fields:

  • "Attribute" - a dropdown list that allows you to select an attribute from all created sets of catalog item attributes, based on which the search will be conducted.
  • "Condition" - a dropdown list that allows you to select a condition for the search. Available filters:
    • contains
    • does not contain
    • equal to
    • not equal to
    • more
    • less
    • contains any value
    • does not contain a value
    • value based on the pattern - используйте маску вида: **-**, где * означает любой символ
    • the same value as the selected attribute
    • same value of the attribute part (truncated value)
  • "Value" - an input field where you must enter the value for which the condition will be created.
  • Checkbox "Non-indexed products" - selects only catalog items that have not yet been indexed. While it is checked, the condition fields are hidden.
  • "Categories" - necessary for selecting
    pages
    of type Catalog, based on which the search will be conducted according to the specified condition. It contains an input field for quick search of
    pages
    and a list of all
    pages
    . If nothing is selected, the search will be conducted across all
    pages
    of type Catalog.
  • Buttons:
    • "Add" - adds a condition
    • "Reset" - resets the current data in the link condition creation block
    • "Reset all" - resets the current data in the link condition creation block and removes all previously created conditions
    • "Copy filter" - copies the specified condition parameters to the clipboard in JSON format

List of Added Conditions​

After you add a condition, the added condition will be displayed in a table below the condition addition form. This table consists of 6 columns:

  • Attribute - contains the name of the attribute and
    Marker
  • Condition - contains the condition based on which the attribute was selected
  • Value - contains the value based on which the attribute was selected
  • Category - contains the categories based on which the attribute was selected
  • Products found - contains the number of found attributes based on the specified condition
  • Content language code (short) - contains information about the content language for this attribute

For each row in the table of added conditions, there is a button to delete the added condition:

edit

Below the table of added conditions, a "Show found" button appears, which displays the list of catalog items that meet the specified condition. The button is shown only if at least one catalog item is found based on the condition.

At the very bottom of the page, there are two buttons:

  • "Save" - saves the created link but keeps it hidden. When you click this button, you will save the link and remain on the link editing page.
  • "Save and activate" - saves and activates the created link, i.e., makes it visible within your system. When you click this button, you will save the link, activate it, and be redirected to the Product Links page, with a list of created links.
Product Links

Catalog items can fall under multiple links; they do not exclude each other. For example, if you have a link for all black phones and for all white phones, both black and white phones will be displayed on the "Links and Cross-sells" tab.

Conditions for Catalog Item Links

Multiple conditions can be added for one link, which must be taken into account because, unlike the links themselves, conditions for one link are mutually exclusive.
