product categories?

[psldesigns]

I found these in the tags:

Cross-Store Product Directory
[-- PRODUCT.CategoryID --] Category ID
[-- PRODUCT.CategoryDescription --] Category Description

How are they used? I can't find where I can assign a "category" to a product -- unless I'm losing my mind. I was pretty good in the manager version and this site is using pro. Is it a different option?

What I'm looking to do is in a custom template say If category = X, then ..., If category = Y then . . . , you get the idea.

Thanks!

Those custom template tags are for use only with the reward feature. They can't be used with products.

You could use the product.field1 ... product.field5 fields for specifying a "category" and do the comparison on them like this
[-- if product.field1 "Desks" --]
put you code to display desks here
[-- else_if product.field1 "Chairs" --]
put your code to display chairs here
[-- else --]
put your code to display other things here
[-- end_if --]
