Content relations

In the “Content relations” app you can relate content objects to other objects such as products, variants, items, categories or attributes. In this way you can control, for example, which content objects are shown for which products, items or categories in your online shop. In this app you can create new relations. And you can undo existing relations.

This chapter explains how to set up a content relation using the example of a relation between a content object and a product. Setting up relations between content objects and objects of other object types follows pretty much the same principles. The same applies to the undoing of relations.

In order to create, edit or delete content objects, go to the “Content management” app.

Create content relations

Select content objects

In the first step you need to select a content object. To do so, proceed as follows:

1. Select the option “Content objects” from the upper “Type” menu.
2. Enter a search term in the input field “Search term” and/or select a content object type from the lower “Type” menu.

• In order to carry out the search, click on the SEARCH button. Following this, the content objects captured by search are shown in the table below. Click on the content object to select it. You can also select multiple content objects.
• In order to reset the search and empty the table, click on the RESET button.

After selecting a content object, the objects already related to it are shown in the left “Preview” card. Keep in mind that the table in this card only shows objects of the type which was selected from the menu.

Possibly use the button in the respective column headers in order to sort the shown content objects according to a particular parameter, or enter a search term in the search field of the respective column header in order to narrow down the selection of shown content objects according to this search term.

Select products

In the second step you need to select a product. To do so, proceed as follows:

1. Select the option “Products” from the “Related objects” menu.
2. Enter, for example, a product or item number in the input field “Search term”.

• In order to carry out the search, click on the SEARCH button. Following this, the products captured by search are shown in the table below. Click on the desired product to select it. You can also select multiple products.
• In order to reset the search and empty the table, click on the RESET button.

After selecting a product, the content objects already related to it are shown in the right “Preview” card.

Possibly use the button in the respective column headers in order to sort the shown products according to a particular parameter, or enter a search term in the search field of the respective column header in order to narrow down the selection of shown products according to this search term.

Establish relations

In the third step, you can establish the relation between the selected content object and the selected product, whereby the relation can be established from the perspective of the content object or from the perspective of the product.

Establish relation from the perspective of the content object

In order to create a relation from the perspective of the content object, proceed as follows:

1. From the “Context” menu in the “Content object” card, select the context level on which the content object and the product are to be related.
2. Click on the RELATE TO PRODUCTS button to establish the relation. If the process was successful, a corresponding message will appear and the related objects are shown in the respective “Preview” cards.

Establish relation from the perspective of the product

In order to create a relation from the perspective of the product, proceed as follows:

1. From the “Context” menu in the “Related object” card, select the context level on which the content object and the product are to be related.
2. From the “Relation type” menu, select a relation type*.
3. Click on the RELATE TO CONTENT OBJECT button to establish the relation. If the process was successful, a corresponding message will appear and the related objects are shown in the respective “Preview” cards.

If you selected a single content object and a single product, you can use either button. If you selected a single content object and multiple products, use the “RELATE TO PRODUCTS” button. And if you a single content object and multiple content objects, use the “RELATE TO CONTENT” button.

*Relation types can be created in the “Types” area of iPIM CC.

Undo relations

Remove related products

In order to revoke a related product from a content object, proceed as follows:

1. In the “Content objects” card, select the content object.
2. Select the option “Products” from the menu in the left “Preview” card. Following this, the related products are shown in the table below.
3. Hover with the mouse cursor over the table row of the product whose relation to the selected content object you want to undo. Following this, the button appears.
4. Click on the button. Following this, the button appears.
5. Click on the button to confirm the undoing of the relation.
