Purpose

Provide the team with a clear and repeatable process for working with the Webasyst section without unnecessary manual routine.

F

What It Does

Explains specific tools and buttons in this section so you understand what task each action solves.

R

How to Launch

  1. Select the target group (categories/products/features).
  2. Run one bulk action on a test sample.
  3. Check the result on several elements.
  4. After verification, scale to full volume.
!

Risks

  • Running a bulk action without checking the sample.
  • Simultaneously launching several large operations.
  • Overwriting verified content unnecessarily.
KPI

Business KPIs

  • Reducing time on content operations.
  • Decreasing the number of manual errors.
  • Faster catalog updates for promotional launches.
  • Higher stability of content quality across all languages.
Main principle: one task at a time. Do not launch several heavy bulk actions simultaneously on a large set of categories.
1

Purpose of This Page

The /wa/analysis/categories page is needed for centralized work with categories: tree structure, translations, SEO fields, images, and bulk operations.

This is the content team's work center for quickly organizing the catalog.

2

Interface Features

  • Left/Central Part: category tree in table format.
  • Top Panel: table view management, tree expansion, export, and columns.
  • Bottom Dark Panel: bulk actions (appears after selecting categories).
  • Pencil Button in Row: point editing of a single category.
3

Top Buttons: What They Do

  • Expand All: opens the entire tree hierarchy.
  • Collapse All: compresses the tree to see only the top branches.
  • Export Excel: generates a table export to a file (for audit/task transfer within the team).
  • Columns: allows hiding unnecessary columns and leaving only those needed for the task.

Tip: before bulk actions, leave only the columns you are currently checking (e.g., translations + SEO).

4

Columns: How to Read Statuses

  • Name (Translation), META Desc, META Keys, Description (Translation): show where there are language gaps.
  • Photo (Main), Banner, Icon: control the visual completeness of categories.
  • Filter (Param), Filters (Shop), Filters (Planner): check the catalog's filtering logic.
  • Recommendations, Seo Text: control content blocks of categories.

Verification Logic: first close red/empty zones in priority categories.

5

Category Selection (Checkboxes)

What It Does: forms a set of categories for bulk actions.

How to Use: manually mark specific categories or use the general checkbox.

Purpose: to launch operations specifically on the group where there is currently a task.

6

AI Translation

What It Does: translates category names/descriptions into selected languages.

How to Use: select categories → open AI translation → choose languages → modify prompt if needed → launch.

Important Option: "Do not overwrite already filled" helps safely fill only gaps.

When to Use: when you need to quickly fill in missing translations after import or catalog expansion.

7

Image Generation

What It Does: generates images for categories (Main / Banner / Icon).

How to Use: select categories → choose image types → set size/model/prompt → launch.

Additionally: there are prompt templates (you can save your own for a unified brand style).

When to Use: when banners/icons are missing, updating category designs, or launching new sections.

8

Transfer from Main

What It Does: transfers data from the base language to selected languages (name, description).

How to Use: select categories → choose languages → choose fields (name/description) → click "Transfer".

Important Option: "Do not overwrite already filled" protects manually edited content.

When to Use: when you need to quickly prepare a multilingual structure based on the main language.

9

Merge Categories

What It Does: merges duplicates into one main category.

How to Use: select 2+ categories → choose the main one → confirm the merge.

What You Get: a cleaner structure, fewer duplicates, and easier catalog management.

When to Use: after imports, when identical categories appear under different names.

10

Category Editing (Pencil)

What It Does: opens a detailed form for a specific category.

What Can Be Changed: names by languages, parent category, status, images (from file or URL), filters.

When to Use: after bulk operations for point refinement of important categories.

11

Step-by-Step Workflow

  1. Open the desired tree branch (or expand all).
  2. Enable the necessary columns through "Columns".
  3. Select categories with checkboxes.
  4. Launch one action (translation/images/transfer/merge).
  5. Check the result on 3-5 categories.
  6. Only then proceed to a larger sample.
12

Common Mistakes

  • Launching a bulk action without checking which categories are selected.
  • Immediately processing a very large group without testing on a small sample.
  • Overwriting filled translations when only filling in was needed.
  • Merging categories without prior verification of which should be the main one.
13

Business Benefits

  • Faster Catalog Updates: one action on dozens of categories at once.
  • Higher Content Quality: better translations, descriptions, and visuals in a unified style.
  • Cleaner Structure: fewer duplicates, easier navigation for the client on the site.
  • Preparation for Promotion: easier to prepare the catalog for SEO and advertising campaigns.
