This page describes the Explore page’s content configuration based on the Local - Global filters in Mobility web and mobile applications.
Understanding the Local and Global Content
The main intention of this feature is to allow the user to customize the Explore Page’s content based on the set of selected ‘Facilities’.
In this feature the hierarchy of the web categories is of high importance.
Hierarchy of Web Categories
Based on to which organizational operational tier a web category is assigned there are three main types of web categories, namely,
Installation Web Categories - These are top tier web categories that are configured on the business level.
Company Web Categories - These are the secondary level web categories that are configured on the companies that resides within the business
Facility Web Categories - These are the web categories that are created on the facility level of a given company/installation
Modes of Content Configuration
Based on the above categorization of the web categories, there exists two types of content configuration modes as follows,
Local Content - Content configured through ‘Company’ and ‘Facility’ Level Web Categories fall under this
Global Content - Content configured through ‘Installation' Level Web Categories fall under this
Understanding the different Web Categories
Installation Level Web Categories
All the current web categories and any other newly created web category which doesn’t have a ‘Local’ specification are considered as ‘Installation’ web categories (aka Global Web Categories).
Therefore, ‘Global’ is the default state and if you need to specify a web category as a ‘Local, you should assign a Business Unit or a Facility at the time of web category creation.
Installation level web categories are considered the top most in the hierarchy.
Under an installation web category, there can be several company web categories.
Company Level Web Categories
A given company web category can have multiple facility web categories that fall under it. A company web category can only have web categories from the facilities which are under the selected company.
Facility Level Web Categories
A certain product or info web category belongs to only one facility web category.
If we configure a web category at the company level, it can contain products from many/all the facilities that come under the given company.
