Multi-taxonomy Assignment

The Multi-taxonomy Assignment feature provides general users the capability to assign an object to various taxonomies or to multiple nodes within the same taxonomy.

Key Term:	Taxonomy: a taxonomy is a scheme of classification used for an organization’s products.
Description:	The feature assigns a single object to multiple different taxonomies or to multiple nodes within the same taxonomy. The feature allows multiple taxonomies to be assigned to a single product. The feature enhances the classification of products/articles in a more structured way.

Application:	This feature is used to classify a product into 2 or more structures or hierarchies. Taxonomies allow a user to have hierarchies in the system. Multiple hierarchies can be applied to a product. Example: A user has created an energy drink product and was given a hierarchy of just Beverages under Food. The product may also have another hierarchy which can be under Sports and Energy Drinks. Multi-taxonomy allows a user to define more than one taxonomy for the product.
