Application:

  • This feature is used to classify a product into 2 or more structures or hierarchies. Taxonomies allow a user to have hierarchies in the system. Multiple hierarchies can be applied to a product.

  • Example:

    A user has created an energy drink product and was given a hierarchy of just Beverages under Food. The product may also have another hierarchy which can be under Sports and Energy Drinks. Multi-taxonomy allows a user to define more than one taxonomy for the product.
