Taxonomy properties

The table in the “Taxonomy properties” tab shows the taxonomy properties assigned to the selected category. These are represented by the according category property attributes. Among them are the different quality grades. They provide information about the completeness of product data. The respective quality grade of each product can be viewed on the dashboard of the “Product details” app. Reaching a certain quality grade depends on the percentage of mandatory product data which has already been maintained. For each quality grade you can specify a percentage threshold that needs to be exceeded to gain the corresponding quality grade.
