Within list pages, Optimizely Configured Commerce allows you to select multiple records. To accomplish this, each record in a list is preceded with a checkbox. When multiple records are selected and then edited, they are grouped together allowing users to click through the selected records to assign content.

To perform a multi-select and assign, use the following steps:

For this example, the focus will be on the Products list assuming this scenario: A user needs to assign a series of new products to their respective categories.

1. Go to **Admin Console** > **Catalog** > **Products**.
2. Using the check boxes, select all the Products that need to be assigned to new or different categories.
3. Select the **Show Selected** filter to verify the correct Products are selected.
