Automated Category Refinements

The platform automatically creates a CATEGORY filter in the left sidebar for most product list pages. 

Bottom Level Categories 

When viewing a sub-category at the bottom level of the category tree, a category filter is created in the left sidebar with all other sub-categories at the same level and the current category's filter automatically selected.  This allows the user to extend the products viewable to include other similar categories. 

For example, when they are looking at the TROUSERS category, they can also bring in other categories at the same level as TROUSERS to their view using their filters – such as JUMPERS, TOPS, etc. 

For higher level categories, instead of a list of refinements in the left sidebar, the sub-categories are listed with hyperlinks into those sub-categories. 

Brands, New In & Other Special Categories 

When viewing special categories like BRANDS or the NEW IN categories, a category filter is automatically created in the left sidebar for the main categories of the website.
