What is the difference between "Move link" and "Exclusively link" in Product Cockpit Catalog Perspective Split View?

[johncbpatigayon]

In Product Cockpit Catalog Perspective Split View, there is a "Move Link" and "Exclusively link" option.

Catalog Perspective page describes it as:

• Move link: The dropped product is assigned only to the target catalog or category, and the link with its source catalog or category is broken.

• Exclusively link: all categories are removed, and only the category where the product was dropped is added.

I can't really understand the difference between the two. What is the side effect of using "Exclusively link" instead of "Move link"? Are there other events / behavior happening?

In one case (probably related to usergroups), "Exclusively link" shows "You do not have sufficient rights to perform this operation or configuration is wrong? Which Type UAC should we check?

Hi, ,

knowing the fact that you can assign one product to multiple categories:

• Move link will change the selected category to another without changing the rest of them.

• Exclusively link will first delete all categories of that product and then add only the category where the product was dropped

For example having product TestProduct which has 3 categories (A, B and C):

Using move link from category A to category D will change its category and at the end, the TestProduct will be in categories B, C, and D

Using exclusively link from any category to category D will delete its previous categories and add only to category D, so at the end, TestProduct will only have one category D.

Tested on productmanager account and everything works like a charm.
