Category Management - Admin Dashboard

[emp005169]

Admin can manage categories , can edit their information, view list of categories.

Basic Flow:

• Admin can view list of Categories
• Admin can Edit and Activate/Deactivate any particular Categories.
• There can be multiple levels (Can be of 3 levels) of product categories. System should also accept 4 levels if client requires.
• Products will be mapped at the last level.

Post Conditions:

• Updated/activated/deactivated category should be reflected on the website under categories tree.

Acceptance Criteria:

• supplier will decided from Master category which category should be the parent and which should be the child.
• Admin should able to edit/activate/deactivate categories.
• Any category which is edited should be reflected on the website.
• Any category which is deactivated should be removed from the website.

Assumptions:

• There will be no product mapped to the parent level of categories. Means products will be mapped to the last level of category. (This will be covered under product management)
• If category is deactivated, then it will not be seen on Front-end category tree. But it will not have any impact on the products within that category.

Dependency:

• Products are mapped in parent categories. If we have to map with N level child categories, then we need do some changes .
• We need all services which is require for reflecting data in elastic search.
• Pagination missing in category listing service.
