# Create/Edit Product Group

This screen displays the details of a Product Group.

| ### Product Group Name
Name: | The Name of the Product Group.
| ### Catalog Page Display Options
Parent Product Group: | This is the Product Group that this Product Group will be placed into.
Short Description: | This is the brief description of the Product Group, and displayed by the Catalog Pages.
Full Description: | This is a full description of the Product Group, and displayed by the Catalog Pages.
Display Type: | Specify whether the items in this Product Group should be displayed on a Catalog page or should be grouped together in a pick list for selection on a Catalog Detail page. For example, this might be a Product Group that contains other Product Groups and/or Products that are not highly related, so you would want the items to be displayed on a Catalog Page, so a Customer could browse to them separately. Alternatively, this might be a Product Group that only contains highly related products (e.g. Small Shirt, Medium Shirt, Large Shirt), so you would want the products to be displayed together in a pick list on a Catalog Detail page.
Details: | This is the details of the Product Group that appear on catalog detail pages. This field is only displayed when the Display Type is set to "Display contents for selection on catalog detail page".
Code: | This field is for HTML, JavaScript, or other code that will be outputted at the bottom of Catalog or Catalog Detail pages (below the table of items on Catalog Pages or below details on Catalog Detail Pages). This field is useful for code that can't easily be added to the full description or details because those fields use a rich-text editor. TIP: You can use this field in order to paste conversion/tracking code from analytics or advertising services.
Search Keywords: | Enter an optional list of keywords (e.g. tags) for this Product Group that will be used to promote this Product Group in both the Site Search and Catalog Page Search results. Search Keywords are displayed as hyperlinks on the Catalog and Catalog Detail pages whenever this Product Group is displayed. When clicked by a Visitor, these hyperlinks will search within the scope of the Catalog page (defined by it's Parent Product Group) and will display any other Product Groups and Products that contain data that matches the Search Keyword. NOTE: This field is only displayed when the Display Type is set to "Display contents for selection on catalog detail page". NOTE: The keywords in this field will be added to the Tag Cloud if this Product Group is included in any Product Groups that are being searched by a Search Results page. TIP: Even if there is no Site Search or Catalog Search enabled on your site, Visitors will still be able to click on any Search Keyword hyperlinks. This may be useful if you want to control what keyword searches they can perform. TIP: You might not need to enter Search Keywords for this Product Group if Search Keywords have already been entered for all of the Products in this Product Group (since the Products will be searched too).
Image: | This is a thumbnail image that is used for catalog pages. For example: If this Product Group is a group of office chairs for sale, then you would want an image of a group of chairs.
| ### Search Engine Optimization
Catalog Name: | This is the name that the system will use to create the URL link to this Product Group. The Catalog Name will appear in the address bar of the browser when a Visitor is viewing this Product Group. If you leave the Catalog Name blank, then the Short Description or Product Group Name (if Short Description is blank) will be used. A Catalog Name may not be used by another Product Group or Product. If the Catalog Name that you entered is already in use then the system will automatically add a unique number to the end of the Catalog Name. Example: A Catalog Name of "electronics" would result in a Search Engine Friendly URL to one of the Product Group's Products named "boombox" to be "/electronics/boombox". TIP: Search engines use the content that appears in addresses for ranking search results, so it is important to set a good Catalog Name.
Web Browser Title: | This is what is displayed at the top of the Visitor's browser window when they access a Catalog or Catalog Detail Page.
Web Browser Description: | This is for the description of a Product Group that search engines will use for ranking search results. This description often appears in search results at a search engine website.
Web Browser Keywords: | This is for keywords that search engines will use for ranking search results. The search engines will attempt to match these keywords with their visitor's searches. Separate each keyword with a comma.
| ### Products to Include
Select: | Select all Products to include in this Product Group. TIP: To make an item that is out of stock or unavailable, but still viewable on Dynamic Catalog pages, do not select any Products to Include, and then set the Display Type to "Display contents for selection on catalog detail page". This will prevent the customer from purchasing the product, but allows them to view its details.
