They allow you to manage several catalogs without having to multiply the products within iWiCatalog.

🙋‍♂️ How to add a groupment on a product?

iZySolutions > IWICATALOG - Groupment management > pxszVYBKr0.png

In order for the groupment to be available on a product, it is necessary for the groupment to be included in the table as above. The latter is located in the General tab of a product.

If the groupment does not yet exist, you can click on the + blue button. This is a quick way to do it without having to go to the Parameters (IWICATALOG - Parameters: Groupment tab).

Then you have to select the groupment and click on the blue Add button so that it is on the table above the list.

To remove a groupment from a product, click on the red X cross. Following this action, the sign will no longer be available on exports.

Don't forget to Save all your changes.

🙋‍♂️ Editing a groupment

The editing of a groupment is available on the Groupment tab of a product. To edit all the necessary information, just click on the notepad icon.

Label coloring standards :

Blue: corresponds to the data inherited from the public product. During a first edition of a groupment version, all the filled fields are noted in blue, this means that the values are common to the Public product.
Red: modified or added data. The cross does not mean that it is an error but an action on it allows to recover the initial value present in the public product.

Combination coloring standard (for lenses only) :

Green: with a +, means that an combination has been added
Red: with a -, means that a combination has been excluded

Any change in the name of the product requires a modification of the manufacturer code and vice versa in order to differentiate the products in the exported catalogs in particular in the catalogs created in Public and Groupment.

🙋‍♂️ Managing groupments products after products

After making the necessary changes to the groupment products, remember to click on the blue Save button.
