# Category

## Possible Entity Keys

Category supprots ID or Name as entity key.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Your entity key must be unique. If you have two categories with same Name fields, you will not be able to use Name as entity key.
{% endhint %}

## Column Destinations

{% hint style="info" %}
Altohugh category has many different column destinations, we would describe only ones that have special functionality.
{% endhint %}

<table><thead><tr><th width="213">Column destination</th><th>Explanation</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Key (Category Id)</td><td>The value that you selected as entity key for this template.<br><br>If you selected <strong>Name as key</strong>, you can specify either full path, or most bottom category name. For example, <strong>Laptops>>Macbook</strong> or just <strong>Macbook</strong>. Note, if you are specifying full path, your parent category <em>must</em> exist, if category is newly created, it will be assigned to parent category automatically. If you are specifying most bottom category name, it <em>should</em> be unique.</td></tr><tr><td>Picture</td><td>File name of a picture (ex. phone.png), or URL to a picture, or full path on server.</td></tr><tr><td>Discount Name or ID</td><td>You can specify <strong>multiple discounts</strong> in one cell, you should use | (vertical bar) symbol for this. Example, <strong>20% off|30% off</strong> would apply 20% off and 30% off discounts.</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="info" %}
All other column destinations do not support inputing multiple values in one cell, and they don't support using multiple columns as well.
{% endhint %}
