Better UI components

These updates signify our commitment to providing a more effective and enjoyable product management experience, enabling our users to manage their data with greater accuracy and less effort.
Place products in category
Navigating through extensive product hierarchies with multiple subnodes has been streamlined for greater ease of use. Recognizing the challenge of visualizing the full path to a node in complex hierarchies, we've introduced tooltips within the category dropdown menus. This enhancement allows users to quickly see the complete path to a category at a glance, making the placement of products into specific categories more intuitive and efficient.
By simplifying this process, we aim to improve the overall user experience in managing product categorization, even in the most intricate of structures.

Ecommerce Search has been upgraded to version 24, representing a major advancement in the platform's capabilities. This update improves upon the existing search functionality and introduces a variety of new features aimed at enhancing the ecommerce experience. One key enhancement in version 24 is the introduction of custom attribute naming. This feature facilitates the presentation of detailed information in an ecommerce setting by allowing for more intuitive and meaningful product descriptions.
Enhanced Documentation with Inline Help
In our continuous efforts to improve documentation accessibility, Ecommerce Search now features inline help. This new functionality offers a pop-out window that provides detailed documentation and insights directly related to the current operational context.
With this enhancement, users can easily access comprehensive guides and specific information without leaving their workflow.
Expanded Price Group Capacity
We've expanded the capabilities of Ecommerce Search to accommodate up to 2,500 different price groups. This development is designed to assist businesses in efficiently managing a complex array of pricing strategies tailored to diverse user groups.
