How should areas be named?
We recommend using generic Taxonomy (e.g ‘Product 1’) instead of specific product names.
This helps maintain consistency and adaptability when there are frequent display changes.
It is best to avoid specific product names such as ‘socks’, ‘swimwear’ etc. if the product will regularly change throughout the year. This will ensure it is easier to make historical data comparisons.
It is possible to group several sub-areas under one core area. The Mens department, for example, may include accessories, boxers, shorts etc. as shown in this example. Selecting Mens will group all of the sub-area metrics.
We have included some examples below…
