Field types
WSM allows you to add filter groups driven by any one of 14 different fields:
- Brand and theme will be auto-populated and will automatically display only the available brand and themes under each department.
- For the price filter, you create price ranges and the WebStore will take care of the rest based on the pricing data that has been entered when importing or creating products.
- Sub-Description will display any text entered to the assigned departments.
- Standard text will apply multiple attributes to a single item (E.g., colours, features, etc...)
Note: Sub-Description may expose inconsistencies in your data such as varying abbreviations which you may have to edit later
