Product Families

Product Families are a simple, tag-like way to group Items for filtering in Analytics reports. A Product Family holds only a name and an optional description — unlike Item Groups, which can each hold many Items and let an Item belong to more than one group, each Item can belong to only one Product Family at a time.

Creating, editing, and deleting Product Families are available only to Administrators.

Create a Product Family

1. Open the Product Families option in the Admin menu and click New Product Family.
2. Enter a Name for the Product Family. The name must be unique. A Description is optional.
3. Click Save.

Edit or delete a Product Family

Open a Product Family from the Product Families list to change its Name or Description, or to delete it.

WARNING: As with all Delete functions in Maxio, there is no undo. Use caution when deleting.

Assign a Product Family to an Item

Select a Product Family from the Product Family field when you create or edit an Item — see Item Fields for the full list of Item fields. Because an Item can hold only one Product Family, selecting a new one replaces the current selection.
