What am i missing here, does anyone from Able commerce monitor this site or is my question so obvious no one is interested. There is nothing in the docs about how to do this or if you can do it so whats the deal anyone!

Here are some articles about the dataport:

In your categories column, you can add a product to subcategories, using a colon to separate it from the main category.
Like Main Category:Subcategory One

Thats cause no one likes working with dataport (not it specifically, just database stuff in general) :)
