Two Category Icons Representing Two Types of Categories
In the Categories tree there are two types of icons that represent categories:
means the category is a storefront category (a Featured Category along with Featured
Products on a storefront). Clicking on the category will open a panel with the name of the
associated storefront and a link to the storefront (where the storefront category with its Featured
Category and Featured Products) can be customized (for more information on customizing
Featured Categories and Featured Products see
To customize a storefront layout - manage
homepage
).
means the category is a standard product category (i.e., not a featured category on a
storefront) that is listed in the Catalog block on the storefront (for more information on
customizing a storefront see
Arranging the Web Blocks
).
For instructions on making a standard category a storefront (or Featured) category on a
storefront, see
To designate certain categories as Featured Categories on a storefont
.

At this point, you can click either (1) Save and Continue to save the category without
configuring it (you might choose this option if you want to quickly add multiple categories and
then configure them later following the steps presented in

opening the category management page, on the category data panel you can change:
•
Display Priority—by selecting one of the 9 priorities from the pull-down list.
•
Active—select Yes or No to make the category active or inactive (i.e., active will cause the
category to be displayed on the storefront).
To create (or designate) a sub-category

On the Manage Categories page select the category to designate as a sub-category and left mouse-
click and drag the category under and to the right of the category that you want to make it a sub-
