Adding Categories to a Virtual Catalog
The procedure for categories to a virtual catalog is the same as for adding them to a base catalog. For instructions, see Adding a Category to a Catalog.
Each category name in a catalog must be unique. When a virtual catalog inherits categories from multiple base catalogs, it is possible that there will be duplicate category names. To prevent this, when a category is added to a virtual catalog, the name of the base catalog from which the category originates is added to the category name.
For example, assume the following categories are in a base catalog from a fictional manufacturer named Ace Clothes:
Ace Clothes (base catalog name)
Shirts
Pants
When these categories are added to a virtual catalog, the name of the categories in the virtual catalog appear as follows:
All Manufacturers Clothes (virtual catalog name)
Shirts (Ace Clothes)
Pants (Ace Clothes)
