# Usecases

So, what are the uses of the new menu item, Product tag view? Here is all that you can achieve with the tag layout of J2Commerce:

- Assign a product to multiple categories
- Display brand-wise products.

## Assigning a product to multiple categories:

With the conventional list layout, it is possible to organize products based on their categories. However, there is one catch. It is not possible to assign a product to multiple categories.

Overcoming this, now we have the tag layout where it is possible for a product to be assigned to multiple categories.

**Steps to be followed:**

- Create tags that you wish to link with the product.
- Create a product and add the tags to the product.
- Create menus and link the tags with the respective menus.

### Scenario

Products like Coffee mugs should be available under two categories- Kitchen appliances and Gifts.

**Steps to be done:**

- Create two tags: Gifts, Kitchen appliances.
- Create a product named coffee mugs.
- Assign both tags to the product article.
- Create menu items of the type Product tag view: Kitchen appliances, associating the tag Kitchen appliances, and Gift,s associating the tag Gifts.
- Now the product coffee mugs will be available in both Kitchen appliances and Gifts.

Likewise, we can assign products to as many categories as we wish.

## Displaying products brand-wise

If you own a multi-brand store, then this feature might help you the most. You could display your products brand-wise. All you have to do is this:

- Create tags with the brand name.
- Create products and link them to their corresponding brands (tags).
- Create menu items of the type Tag view and associate the tags with them accordingly.

### Scenario

Our goal is to list the shirts in the store according to their brand. We have the following brands:

- Huetrap
- Roadster
- Adidas

**Steps to be done:**

- Create tags of the names Huetrap, Roadster, and Adidas.
- Create corresponding products and link them to the tag Huetap, and repeat the process for other brands.
