What a brand is in the catalog system, and how to set one up

Every document (catalog, brochure or datasheet) belongs to exactly one brand. A brand is the top-level group that splits your products by manufacturer or product line. On the website, each brand appears as a bar that customers tap open to see its documents (see Chapter 4).

Each brand can have a logo (optional). It appears next to the brand name in the bar on your website, so customers spot a familiar brand at a glance.

  • Without a logo, the bar simply shows the brand name.
  • Logo files should have a transparent background (PNG or WebP), so they fit the website in any layout.

You do this yourself, in the brand bar on the left of the catalogue in miraCMS. Its heading is the word your website uses, for example “Manufacturer”. Press “Edit” at the top of the bar, and every brand gets its controls:

Control What it does
⠿ on the left Drag to sort
Picture frame Upload or change the brand logo
Pencil Rename the brand
Bin Delete the brand

At the bottom of the bar, type a name and press + to add a new brand. “Done” ends editing.

Brands appear on the website in exactly the order of the brand bar, not alphabetically. Drag a brand by its handle to move your main line to the top.
