The CMS supports the concept of Content Product Lists. These are lists of products that can be created and managed by the CMS. An example would be a Top Ten list for each Location of products.
The CMS could be used to create a company namespace called TopTen and then Products could be entered in as text for entries in the namespace. You could create TopTenMaui, TopTenOhahu etc. But this method only allows content as free text and doesn't actually involve specific products.
Product Lists can be invoked by

Adding a non-name space entry as product content. Below is an entry where a product default category of Top10 has been created. Notice the "placeholder" entry for the item of 'abc'. The only thing that is required is that an entry is created for each product that will be part of the TopTen List.
Once this entry has been added, then the contentname switch can be used for als_get_products.cgi. This allows you to get all Products that use the default content name equal to some value.
