Layered Categories

If the single category is not adequate enough for your integration. ApiCenter provides a multi-layered solution for the category flow. If you fill two (or more) attributes, with category information, these can be used to create multi-layered category structures.

To facilitate this desired functionality, we offer the following solution. Exact Globe has additional fields that are freely to use for their software users, which do not have specific functionality attached to them. These fields can be re-assigned to serve as indicators for the category structure. The fields are named:

"Class01Code" 
"Class02Code" 
"Class03Code" 
"Class04Code" 
"Class05Code" 
"Class06Code" 
"Class07Code" 
"Class08Code" 
"Class09Code" 
"Class10Code" 

"DateFreeField1"
"DateFreeField2"
"DateFreeField3"
"TextFreeField1"
"TextFreeField2"
"TextFreeField3"
"NumberFreeField1"
"NumberFreeField2"
"NumberFreeField3"
"YesNoFreeField1"
"YesNoFreeField2"
"YesNoFreeField3"

Configuring in ApiCenter

When the Exact Globe environment has been fully populated with data described above, it is time to set ApiCenter to the correct configuration, to load in the categories and their parents. In the Example below, the value in "Class05Code" will be the main category, and the "Class03Code" their child category.
