Catalog: CatalogNavigationView Noun


The CatalogNavigationView noun was created to represent all of the information that is required to make use of faceted navigation (from a search engine) when a shopper is browsing catalog pages for a store model (Aurora, Madisons, Elite) that is provided by default.

The noun defines the categories and catalog entries for display in the store and defines the prices, attachments, merchandising associations, and other properties that are relevant to display for the catalog entries.

The noun also defines the properties that are relevant to searching, such as facets, the breadcrumb trail, and some debugging information.
