In this menu 2 extra free fields must be added. One field to indicate the current level of the category and one field to indicate its parent (if available). The first field must be an integer, either one or two digits wide, depending on the structure. The second field must be a linked field to an existing article group, indicating the parent. When these are added this will look something like this:

When creating categories, the final result should look something like the following example:

0 = Main category

1 = Sub category

2 = Sub-sub category 

When you select the category on your product card, you select the lowest category that contains your product. All the parent categories are automatically included.
