Advanced Settings

Be sure to familiarize yourself with the basics of product organization before proceeding with product catalog settings.

Catalog Settings

In V2, catalog settings are located in the Drupal admin menu:

Configuration → Web services → Apiboost Drupal Rest → Product Catalog API

Give Your Catalog a Description

The first field to edit is your catalogs description, found on the landing page here:

The greeting or introduction that appears on the catalog can range from a simple message to a more elaborate one. It's completely up to the user to decide how they want to use it. However, for the best user experience, it's recommended to keep it concise and easy to skim, so that end users can quickly understand the purpose of the catalog before scrolling through the products. For more detailed instructions, it's better to include them on the "Get Started" page or the individual API documentation pages.

Sizing Up Your Catalog

Right after the description, you'll find the Product Catalog Layout fields. The first one is the catalog type selection field. By choosing "large", the catalog will display with a left rail menu, while selecting "small" will display all APIs on a single page, grouped by category. For more information on choosing the appropriate catalog size, please refer to the section on catalog size selection.

Manage Product Categories

There’s a handy link on this page that will take you to product categories, should you need to make any immediate changes. From the left hand admin menu:

Toggle Filters Display
