  2. From the hamburger menu, select the Marketplace tool. Within the tool are a Sellers tab and a Marketplaces tab (if there are multiple marketplaces).
  3. From the Store filter, select the Extended Sites Catalog Asset Store.
  4. Click on the Sellers tab. A landing page has all the existing sellers created for the selected Catalog Asset Store.
  5. Click on the Access Seller Dashboard option given in the same row as the seller's name. The Seller Dashboard page opens.
  6. Click on the Buyer Contracts tab on the Seller Dashboard page. The Buyer Contracts page opens. This page lists all the contracts created for the Marketplace Seller.
  7. From the right side column, go to the Catalog Filter field. All the existing catalog filters are listed.
  8. Enter the name of the catalog filter you want to duplicate in the Search field. All the search results related to the name are listed on the screen.
  9. Click the duplicate icon to create a duplicate copy of the existing catalog filter.
  10. A Duplicate Catalog Filter window is displayed. Enter the new Name and Description of the catalog filter. Note that descriptions field is optional.
  11. Click Save and Continue to duplicate the catalog filter. This directs you to the edit catalog filter page. From the Edit Name and Description option, you can update the name and description of the contract filter.
  12. There are two sections on this page, Category Selection, and Product Selection section. The products displayed in the Product Selection section have implicit selection based on the category that is included or excluded in the Category Selection section.
  13. All the categories are listed in the Category Selection section. The categories are shown with different colors of check marks that represent different statuses as per the following table:
    StatusDescription
    Grey check mark Implicitly included (parent is included)
    Green check mark Explicitly included
    Red cross Explicitly excluded
    Grey cross Implicitly excluded (parent is excluded)
    • Enter the category name in the Search field to select and add the categories. All the categories related to the search name entered are displayed. Click the check mark until it is green. The Selection Summary column has all the selected categories added.
      Note: All the categories are explicitly included, and subcategories are implicitly included by default.
    • You can select all the listed categories by clicking on the check mark available beside the All categories option. By default, category selection and product selection section displays the data of catalog filter you have duplicated.
    • Click on the check mark to include categories. The grey check mark changes to a green check mark. All the categories are explicitly included.
    • The selection performed on the parent category applies to all the child categories as well. However, you can select the child category and exclude the parent category or select the parent category and exclude the child category.
    • You can select child categories without selecting the parent category.
      • Click on the check mark available beside the child category name until it is green. The child category is explicitly included.
      • To exclude the parent category, click on the check mark until it shows a grey cross icon. The parent category is implicitly excluded.
    • You can select the parent category without including a few child categories.
      • Click on the check mark available beside the parent category name until it is green. The parent category is explicitly included.
      • To exclude the child category, click on the check mark until it shows a red cross icon. The child category is explicitly excluded.
    • Selecting multiple products and clicking the Include Selected or Exclude Selected button changes the product status to include or exclude explicitly. Accordingly, the status of SKUs changes to implicitly included or excluded.
    • All the selected categories are shown in the Selection Summary column.
