When creating a new product or editing an existing one (on the General tab), you can choose a department under which it should be placed. This can be done by using the Department drop-down list as highlighted in the screenshot below.

 

 

Managing departments

 

Departments can be managed in CMS Desk -> E-commerce -> Configuration on the Departments tab. In this section of the administration interface, you can see a list of all defined departments. New ones can be added to the list by clicking the New department button above the list. Properties of already defined departments can be edited by clicking the Edit () icon in the Actions column. You can also delete a department by clicking the Delete () icon.

 

 

When editing a department, the following tabs are available to specify its properties:

 

•General tab

•Users tab

•Default tax classes tab
