Working with Season Groups in the Line Sheet
Season groups can be used to represent the ways a business thinks about products and colorways. Examples of season groups include the following:
• Channels—Represents the different channels where a company sells its products, such as retail, internet, or wholesale.
• Regions—Represents different regions of the world.
• Catalogs—Represents different categories of items that a company sells.

Administrators can configure different types of season groups in the type manager. If a season is not configured to use season group types, then the season groups list is not visible.
Administrators can define attributes on the SeasonGroupToProductLink and SeasonGroupToSKULink types. Those attributes can be added to line sheet views, where they can be edited and viewed.
To view the season groups that the product belongs to, go to the Merchandising section of the Summary page for the product. Hover your cursor over the season group name to display additional information for the season group.

Availability of the Add Products and Add Colorways options depends on the current line sheet level.
Products and colorways can be in multiple season groups of the same type, unless your administrator has configured the exclusive attribute on the season group type in the Type and Attribute Management utility. In that case, products or colorways can only be on one season group for that type in a given season.
