ATLAS - Product Type Page Type

Last updated 03.29.24

The Atlas - Product Type Page Type is part of the Product Application. The product catalog application in total creates an interactive, non-e-commerce product catalog with multiple product categories. 

This page type has value when your product category has sub-categories. Selecting this page type allows the Product Application pages to automatically organize the categories and sub-categories in the background. In essence, it’s the same page layout as The Atlas - Product Category Page Type but is flagged in the system as a sub-category page.

This lists all the products flagged with a particular sub-category in the Product Application. Products can be flagged to be in more than one category and will automatically appear on any category list page for that category. Each product and its detail information need be entered only once but can appear in many category list pages.

For the product catalog to function, there needs to be products added to the Product Application as well as existing product category and product detail pages in your site. The Product Application is a powerful database of product information that is easy to edit and manage in one place while automatically feeding data into pages such as this one.

Getting Started

From within the Pages Application select a location in the content tree for your sub-category product page listing and click on the plus icon. From the pages selection list, choose Atlas - Product Type Page Type.

Select the Product Category Listing custom template and click continue. Complete the properties settings and then save. The templated page will automatically be added to the content tree.

Recommended template

The Product Category Listing page template provides various pre-placed widgets to speed the build of the page. Each widget needs to have their properties adjusted to complete the content. Visit each widget page to explore their custom properties settings.

1. Product Category Widget placed to the left side to create the product catalog navigation. This navigation is persistent throughout the product catalog for ease of browsing.

2. Product Category is a custom section on the main part of the page that automatically feeds in all the products flagged with the sub-category selected in the properties.

3. News Feed Widget for Latest News - adjust properties to select a news feed. This widget can be deleted if wished.

4. Events Widget - adjust properties to select events. This widget can be deleted if wished.
