| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Category | Categories are used to organize the products in a way that should make it easy for the user to find what he or she is looking for, and categories serve as an index of all the products that belong to that particular subject/theme/attribute. |
| Site Navigation | The tree structure that defines the categories/sub-categories etc. and how they are related so that the end user can easily find products. |
| Milestone | This represents a time period when a specific construct of Category/Site Navigation is expected to go live. A category/Site Navigation can have multiple milestones. |
| Timeline | A template provides a complete view of milestones within a Category/Site Navigation. Since the changes in Merchandising are very dynamic, it is essential to view a timeline which shows the different milestones and when they will come into effect. |
| Widgets | A page component developed by UX developers (e.g a Banner widget, Video widget). |
| Creatives/Assets | An instance of a widget with specific properties (e.g. a Women’s Casual Dress Banner for the One Day Sale on Labor Day). |
| Widgets and Templates Repository URL |
This indicates the URL for the repository of templates and widgets. |
| Project | A container/wrapper entity to hold changes made to a price list. New and updated pricing must pass through the Project approval workflow process before it is reflected in the price list. |
| Project Notes | Comments entered by Pricing Editor or Pricing Manager to add context to project actions. |
| Projects Workflow | These make business processes more efficient by managing and tracking the human tasks involved with a process and then providing a record of that process when it completes. |
| Templates | In the context of Infosys Equinox Merchandising, a property that will be provided to the storefront which will indicate how the product list pages, department pages, product detail pages, etc. will be presented. |
| Attributes | The product attributes are used together with the variations of a product. Each attribute represents a characteristic of the product that can have different values. For example, such characteristic is the color of a product. |
| Product | A good/service/idea that has a combination of tangible and intangible attributes and can have multiple variants which are referred to as stock keeping units (SKUs). In Infosys Equinox Commerce, the consumer/buyer evaluates a product (e.g. a men’s dress shoe available in black and brown and in sizes from 10 to 15), but actually purchases a SKU associated with the product (e.g. a black colored version of the dress shoe in size 12) rather than the product itself. |

| Default Category Sort Order | Indicates the sort order to be used by the categories by default. |
