### How it works in practice

The basic principle is simple – you set up rules that decide how products move between categories.

1. **Source category** – where the products come from, for example "Office cabinets".
2. **Target category** – where they should end up, e.g. "Medium bookcases".
3. **Conditions** – what decides whether a product belongs in the target category. Example: height between 100 and 150 cm and door type = "no doors".

The app then goes through all products every day and:

- removes anything from the target category that doesn't match the conditions,
- and adds every new product that does match them.

### What conditions you can set

The setup is flexible, so it handles more complex scenarios too. The options include, for example:

- **Exact match** – the parameter value is exactly "no doors".
- **Partial match** – the value contains the word "doors".
- **Numeric condition** – height > 100 cm, width ≤ 80 cm.
- **Combination of several conditions** – for example "(height ≥ 100 cm and height ≤ 150 cm) and (door type = no doors)".

The app also supports the logical operators "AND" and "OR", so you can build rules of any complexity.

### Hierarchical categories: chaining rules

Another advantage is that rules can be stacked. For example, you can first create a general category "Tall cabinets" that collects every product over 150 cm.

Then you can attach another rule to that category: "Tall cabinets without doors".

The result is smart sorting that practically takes care of itself.

### Summary of benefits

- **Automation** – categories update themselves, you set the rules just once.
- **Accuracy** – nothing extra in the categories and nothing missing.
- **Time savings** – no manual moving of products.
- **Flexibility** – you can combine conditions to fit your needs.
