Overview
An item group is a different way to display products. By creating an item group, a site owner tells the software to display items via a drop-down menu. Item groups are sets of products organized to provide an easy method to select and purchase related items.

All products in any item group appear in a drop-down menu in the online catalog, allowing customers to quickly select a desired product. When a customer selects a product from the menu, the page refreshes, displaying all of the pertinent product details. The customer can then choose to view another item from the menu, or to purchase the current product.


Click on the main "Ecommerce" link at the top of any main administration page. Click on the "Product Catalog Management" text link to load the product catalog management page.


To add a new item group, click on the "New" button located in the item group section. The item group management page will open in a new browser window.


To edit an existing item group, select the group to edit from the drop down menu, then click on the "Edit" button. The item group management page will open in a new browser window.


To delete an existing item group, select the item to delete from the drop down menu, then click on the "delete" button.


To search for item groups, type the item name in the empty text field located just above the item drop down menu and click the "Search" button. Once the page reloads, all matching groups will be available for selection from the drop down menu.
