Operating
IBM Management Center for WebSphere Commerce
The IBM Management Center for WebSphere Commerce, or Management Center, is a suite of tools to support store management, merchandising, and marketing tasks for business users (Sellers, Marketing Managers, Product Managers, Catalog Managers, and others).
Catalogs tool
Use the Catalogs tool in Management Center to manage catalogs, categories, catalog entries, merchandising associations, product attributes, and attachments in your store. The Catalogs tool lets business users create, and manage online catalogs. Catalogs provide a way of organizing the products that you want to sell. You define catalog data in groups of categories and products. Catalog data contains descriptions and pricing information for products and services.
Working with attributes
The Category Manager or Product Manager determine the best way to display, price, and sell products in the online store, including assigning or changing product attributes.
Using the attribute dictionary
Before you create products in your store, create attributes. Attributes are characteristics of a product such as size or color. There are two types of attributes, attributes with predefined values, and attributes with assigned values.
Organizing attribute dictionary attributes with folders
As a Category Manager or Product Manager, you can create, change, and delete folders in Management Center to make managing your attribute dictionary attributes easier. You can add attributes to folders and create subfolders to simplify organizing your attributes and navigating to locate attributes.
