This relation variant selects any products from other categories and subcategories to Reference product taking into account any features. It allows to show a wide range of the products in the frame of one category and all its subcategories on the product page.
Example:
Go to the page Administration panel → Products → Categories → Computers → tab “AB: Products selection”. On the relation page in the field Related category choose Computers, create the relation and click Edit. In the showed up tab Rules of relation choose the value Without features for Reference product and the same value Without features for Related product. At the end click the Update cache of relations current category button.

The result is: there are selected products for Apple tablet in the category Computers, but including any of its subcategories and with any features (for example, brand, color, operative system etc.).

Watch the video of work with the example:

This relation variant selects Related products to Reference product according to the features that are set in the relation. One relation can include unlimited number of features.
Example 1:
Go to the page Administration panel → Products → Categories → Computers → tab “AB: Products selection”. On the relation page in the field Related category choose Computers, create the relation and click Edit. In the showed up tab Rules of relation set Brand ‒ Equally ‒ Samsung for Reference product and the same value Brand ‒ Equally ‒ Samsung for Related product.

The result is: there are selected products for Samsung laptop from the category Computers where the feature Brand equal Samsung.

Watch the video of work with the example 1:

But what should we do if we need to select products from the Brand feature for every product from the Computers category? You will not create individual relation for each product, will you? In that case, let’s consider the second example.
Example 2:
When the relation is created go to the tab Rules of relation and set the value Without features for Reference product and the value Brand — Equally — Variant of Reference product for Related product. Save the relation and go to the gearwheel menu Preview.

As a result, every product from the Computers category, irrespective of its feature Brand, will be matched with the other products from the subcategories according to its brand. In other words, the product Acer will be matched with the Acer products only. The product Samsung will be matched with the Samsung products only etc.

Watch the video of work with the example 2:

This relation variant selects Related products according to the feature(s) values of Reference product (with identical values)
Example:
Go to the page Administration panel → Products → Categories → Apparel → tab “AB: Products selection”. On the relation page in the field Related category choose Apparel, create the relation and click Edit. When the relation is created go to the tab Rules of relation and set the value Without features for Reference product and select the following values for Related product: 1) Brand — Equally — Variant of Reference product; 2) Size — Equally — Variant of Reference product.

At such realization the system will check every product for mentioned conditions. If there is a T-shirt Adidas, size M then the system will search for all products from the other subcategories taking into account the features: brand Adidas, size M. If any feature is missed, then such a product won’t be displayed in the block. If any feature is missed at Reference of Related product, then such a rule will be ignored and the tab with products will not exist on the product page.

Watch the video of work with the example:

Within relation you can create unlimited quantity of relations and the products selection will be held according to its rules. What does the relation look like when we need to select products with totally different features at one rule? Let’s consider the example with Computers category.
When the relation is created go to the tab Rules of relation. Choose the value Without features for Reference product and the following features for Related product:
1) Brand —Equally — Samsung;
2) Storage capacity — Equally — 1TB.
Add the second block with fields, clicking the button [+], and choose one more feature: Storage capacity — Equally — 1TB.

As a result, on the product page in the tab Computers there will be all computers Samsung with storage capacity 1TB (the first rule) and all computers of any brand with storage capacity 1TB (the second rule). In other words, there are products in one tab taking into account all conditions. And such a relation match products together.
