Concepts

• You can relate one item to another, or one item to many other items, of many kinds.
  • For example:-
    • a product can be related to one or more categories
    • an article can be related to one or more products
    • a product may have many related products for "You may also like..." listings
  •  
• You can unrelate items - in some cases this will also delete the item
  • Removing a relationship does not delete the related item if the related item was created elsewhere - for example a Product related to a Category (the Category is used elsewhere)
  • Removing a relationship to an item created in the Relate tab, deletes the item - for example a Product Variant created for a Product is deleted (the Product Variant is only used for this product and has no other use)
  • You will be warned about this before the item is deleted

Choosing

To relate items select the Relate tab. You will see sub-tabs of all the items that have been related to this kind of item before. Pick one, then click Choose.

1. The Chooser will open.
2. Tick or untick items to relate or unrelate them respectively.
3. Close the Chooser. You don't need to SAVE.
