On the "Category & Landing pages" tab, a merchandiser can override the settings on individual pages. Pages are listed per market in the selected locale. For markets with multiple locales, pages are shown in the language of the selected locales but are otherwise identical. Some page settings are based on locale. Pages can be created in the application area or imported.
Page list view
Pages in this view can be edited or deleted. Any changes made to page settings can be reset and restored to their previous version. If another user is currently editing a page that you attempt to edit, a popup will appear, allowing you to either cancel your action or override the other user's changes.
You can choose to view the pages in either a flat list or a hierarchy view. and you seamlessly switch between these views using the buttons in the top-right corner.
WARNING
Please note that the hierarchy view is currently in BETA. Some functionality in the flat list view may not yet be accessible in the hierarchy view.
Preview and publish pages
Pages can be previewed when settings or lists have changed from the last saved version of the page. Changed pages are indicated in the interface by an orange dot icon. When previewing a page, Elevate will assume that the page is in preview mode until it the page is exited or the browser is restarted.
To preview a page, a preview URL is required. It is recommended to set a preview base URL for category and landing pages in the Configuration tab of the Admin application area and to always preview changes before publishing. Unpublished changes can be reverted, restoring the page to the currently published version.
Editing multiple pages
It is possible to select multiple pages and edit them at the same time. The product list settings can be edited and new lists with a common product selection, such as a recommendation list, can be added. Product selections can't be altered when editing multiple pages.
Page merchandising
A page has a maximum of one primary product list and can have additional (optional) recommendation lists. Lists can be added, removed, and hidden.
Slices
Slices are added to a product listing page, allowing you to override the default listing and display curated product sets to increase relevance. Read more about slices here.
Page settings
Each page can have its own details and SEO settings. Settings can also be provided via the API, but settings defined and published for a page in the UI have precedence over API-provided settings.
| Setting | Description |
| Page path | The localized page path. |
| Document name | The name of the document as shown in a web browser, i.e. the HTML <title> tag. |
| Page Main title | The main heading of the page, i.e. the HTML <h1> tag. |
| Preamble text | The preamble text of the page. |
| <META> description | The page description that is placed in the HTML <meta> tag of the document. |
| Canonical link | The full link of a representative page for this content when the current page is a duplicate of another. |
List settings
A list is primarily defined by its type. There are two types of lists: a primary product list and a recommendation list. All lists have their own product selection and products within all recommendation lists on a page are automatically deduplicated.
It is possible to override the default product list settings for each list on a page. For more information on the different default settings available, see Settings. For recommendation lists, some additional settings, such as which ranking algorithm is used, can be overridden.
Pages with overridden settings are denoted with an icon next to the page path in the list of pages.
When creating a product list, additional relevant keywords can be added to increase findability.
Product selection
Products used in a list can be either handpicked or included (or excluded) by rules. For more information, see Product selection. When the query parameter productRules is used together with pages, the first rule in the product selection of the page must be handpicked and must contain a set of product keys as the only condition.
Product pinning
Products can be pinned (given a permanent position) in both a primary product list and in a recommendation list. This is useful when there is a need to show a specific set of products on a page, for example to highlight a collection.
Pinned products come always first in a list, but will only be present if they are included in the active facets and selections of the list. Pinning supersedes product boost and bury. Pinning is only applied when using "Relevance" as the sort order in a primary list. Even though pinned products always come first in a recommendation list no matter what algorithm is used, they will be buried due to deduplication if they are present in an earlier recommendation list on the same page.
A pinned product is indicated in the interface by a pin icon in the top right-hand corner of the product image. The position of a pinned product can be changed by dragging the product in the interface. Up to 100 products can be pinned within a list and pinned products are not affected by other rules and settings, such as out of stock settings.
Inheriting filter
A primary list can be configured to apply its product selection to its sub-pages. Sub-pages are automatically identified based on the page ID.
If a page "/women" is configured to only return products from the department "women" and the inheriting filter is enabled, all sub-pages, such as for example "/women/cardigans" or "/women/dresses" will be limited to the department "women" without having to specify the department.
This is turned off by default. An alternative approach to achieve the same behavior is to supply the full product selection on each page.
Integration
Pages can be programmatically managed via the import and export API, which allows linking to an external system. More information can be found at the "Import and Export pages" guide.
WARNING
Merchandisable pages were previously populated through API requests to landing pages. This is still available for customers who previously used it but all new customers will have this feature disabled. If you need to populate pages from an external system, see the "Import and Export pages" guide.
